Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as berries, bananas, or peaches)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped walnuts, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crispy. Let cool completely.
5. In serving glasses or bowls, layer Greek yogurt, a generous spoonful of the crunchy granola, and fresh fruit.
6. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of granola on top.
7. Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks to keep it crunchy.

For the best results, use plain Greek yogurt for a thick and creamy texture, or opt for a plant-based yogurt if you prefer a vegan option. Feel free to experiment with different add-ins, such as fresh berries, bananas, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. Store any leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

If you’re looking for a lighter version, substitute half of the maple syrup with unsweetened applesauce, which will also keep the granola moist and flavorful. To make it even more indulgent, consider adding a layer of nut butter between the yogurt and granola!
