Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.75 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 cups fresh mixed berries
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey (or maple syrup) and melted coconut oil. Stir until blended, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the honey-coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir very well until everything is evenly coated. If adding, mix in the whey protein powder now until fully incorporated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will firm up as it cools.
To serve, scoop desired amounts of Greek yogurt into bowls. Top with a generous serving of granola and fresh berries.
Store leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
