Equipment
- 18×13-inch rimmed baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Large mixing bowl
- Microwave-safe measuring cup
- Medium jar or serving container
Ingredients
For the Granola (makes 6 cups):
- 3 cups rolled oats or old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup shaved or slivered almonds
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup real maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
For the Parfait (1 serving):
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt fat-free or whole
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon honey or to taste
- ¼ cup Homemade Granola
- ½ cup fresh berries such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
Instructions
To Make the Granola:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set this aside for later.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, and coconut flakes, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Prepare the wet mixture: In a microwave-safe measuring cup, combine the coconut oil and honey. Microwave on high for about 15 to 30 seconds, or just until melted. Add the maple syrup and sea salt, stirring until the mixture is smooth. If the ingredients don’t fully blend, microwave for an extra 15 seconds.
- Coat the dry mixture: Pour the wet mixture over the oat blend. Stir everything together with a spatula until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Bake the granola: Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure it toasts evenly. The granola should turn a light golden brown.
- Cool and store: Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, use your hands to break it into clusters or crumbles. Transfer to an airtight container, and store at room temperature for up to one week.
To Assemble the Parfait:
- Mix the yogurt base: In a medium-sized jar or serving glass, combine the Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and honey. Stir until the ingredients are fully mixed.
- Layer the parfait: Add a layer of granola on top of the yogurt mixture, then finish with a layer of fresh berries.
- Optional garnish: If desired, drizzle a little extra honey on top before serving.
Notes
Variations: Substitute almonds with walnuts or pecans for a different flavor. Use flavored yogurt for added sweetness.
Tips: For crunchier granola, bake a few extra minutes, but keep an eye to prevent burning.
