Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) raw almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 cups (480 ml) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
  • Honey or agave syrup (optional, for drizzling)
  • Chopped fresh fruit (optional, like banana or kiwi)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly mixed.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup or honey, melted virgin coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together, making sure all the oats and nuts are coated evenly without crushing the mixture.
  5. Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it lightly to form an even layer.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even toasting. The granola should turn golden brown and smell fragrant.
  7. Remove the tray and let the granola cool completely on the sheet to crisp up.
  8. To assemble the parfait, layer 1/3 cup (80 g) Greek yogurt, a generous spoonful of granola, and a handful of fresh berries in clear glasses or bowls. Repeat layers once or twice depending on container size.
  9. Finish with a drizzle of honey or agave syrup on top for extra sweetness if desired, plus any extra fresh fruit or a sprinkle of seeds.

Notes

Let granola cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crunch. Fold wet and dry ingredients gently to keep granola clusters intact. Watch granola closely in the last 5 minutes to avoid burning. For chunkier granola, press firmly and avoid stirring midway. Store granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Assemble parfait just before serving for best texture.
