Granola
Yogurt & Toppings
Method
Granola
- 1
Preheat
Position an oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- 2
Prepare dry mix
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped raw almonds (roughly chopped to bite-size), 1/2 cup chopped raw pecans, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt. Stir so ingredients are evenly distributed.

Make wet mixture
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons neutral oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and slightly emulsified.

Combine and coat
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold and press until all dry ingredients are evenly coated and slightly clumping. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, pressing gently with the back of the spatula to create clusters if desired.
- 5
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–25 minutes, stirring gently once halfway through (around 10–12 minutes). For chunkier clusters, do not over-stir—tilt and rotate the pan instead. Watch closely after 15 minutes so the coconut and nuts do not burn. The granola is done when golden brown and fragrant.
- 6
Cool and add fruit
Remove the pan from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet (about 20–30 minutes). As it cools it will crisp and form clusters. Once cooled, stir in 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins if using.
- 7
Store
Transfer cooled granola to an airtight container. It will keep at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Yogurt & Assembly
- 8
Portion yogurt
Spoon 3 cups plain Greek yogurt into a medium bowl and gently stir to loosen if it is very thick. For individual servings, divide into 4 bowls (about 3/4 cup each).

Add fruit and toppings
Scatter fresh berries (1 cup total) across the bowls and add sliced banana if using. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes (2 tablespoons) and 1 teaspoon chia or flax seeds per bowl if desired. Drizzle each bowl lightly with honey or maple syrup (about 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon) if you prefer sweeter yogurt.

Serve
Serve immediately so the granola stays crunchy. Leftover assembled bowls should be eaten within a few hours; store granola separately if making ahead.
