This granola is different from the usual kind because it's served with creamy plain yogurt and a colorful mix of dried fruit, giving it a fresh, sweet-tangy taste with a crunchy, savory texture from the toasted oats. It's perfect for a healthy breakfast or a filling yet light meal prep option. The baking process uses a mix of coconut oil and maple syrup so the aroma is fragrant and the color turns a perfect golden brown.

  • 250 grams rolled oats/instant oatmeal
  • 50 grams almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 50 grams cashews, coarsely chopped
  • 30 grams pumpkin seeds
  • 30 grams sunflower seeds
  • 30 grams desiccated coconut
  • 60 ml liquid coconut oil
  • 70 ml maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
  • 80 grams mixed dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots)
  • 400 grams plain yogurt, for serving
  • to taste fresh fruit, sliced (banana, strawberry, or mango), for serving

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, chopped cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and desiccated coconut. Stir until well mixed.
  3. 3 In a separate bowl, mix the liquid coconut oil, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla powder. Stir until well combined.
  4. 4 Pour the liquid mixture into the oat and nut mixture. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the liquid.
  5. 5 Spread the granola mixture evenly over the baking sheet, keeping it thin so it bakes evenly and turns out crunchy.
  6. 6 Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 minutes so it browns evenly and doesn't burn at the edges.
  7. 7 Remove the granola once it's golden brown, then let it cool completely on the baking sheet (it will get even crunchier as it cools).
  8. 8 Once cooled, mix the dried fruit into the granola and stir until well combined.
  9. 9 Store the granola in an airtight jar if not serving it right away.
  10. 10 To serve, pour the plain yogurt into a bowl, sprinkle with granola to taste, and top with fresh fruit slices.

💡 Tips

• Don't spread the granola too thick on the baking sheet, as this will make the center less crunchy — it's best to spread it out in a thin, even layer.

• Add the dried fruit after the granola has finished baking and cooled down, not before baking, so the fruit doesn't burn or become too tough.

• Granola can be stored in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks at room temperature, so you can make a large batch to keep on hand for breakfast.

• For a vegan version, replace the honey with pure maple syrup and make sure to use a plant-based yogurt.
