Homemade Berry Granola Yogurt Bowls


Homemade Berry Granola Yogurt Bowls

I haven't been joining the Best Recipes for Everyone blog hop since February this year. For that event, I submitted my Bacon Maple Butter Cookies. :)

The theme for this May's event is My Favorite Desserts, but excluding all sorts of cakes. Luckily, hahaha! Well, that's because no one in my family likes to eat cake and if I bake, I'll have to eat the entire cake or it will end up in the bin. Pity the cake lahhh.

So, I make these Homemade Berry Granola Yogurt Bowls - simple, nutritious, and delicious too! Yes, the granola is also homemade!


Recipe adapted from Nancy Fuller's recipe.

Ingredients:
(Serves 2)

For granola:
1 cup organic rolled oats
1/2 cup organic mixed seeds (flax seeds, chia seeds)
2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil
2 tablespoons runny honey
1/4 cup dried apricots, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons maple syrup

For yogurt bowls:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries), quartered

 
How to:

For the granola:

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C.

2. Toss the oats and seeds together on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat.

3. Whisk together coconut oil and honey in a liquid measuring cup, then pour over the oat mixture. Stir until all the oats and seeds are coated.

4. Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

5. Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool. Add the dried apricots and cranberries. Drizzle with maple syrup and toss together.

To assemble:


Start with a large spoonful of the granola, followed by a layer of yogurt, then a layer of berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Repeat the layers one more time, finishing with berries, drizzled with maple syrup.

Yogurt, granola, berries, maple syrup - heavenly combo!

Simple, nutritious, and delicious too!

  2. Hi Joyce, thanks for participating in BREE with this nutritious recipe! Hehe, actually not all cakes are excluded from the list. We still accept those decorated cakes(especially with cream and all those sinful stuff). XD Still, the desserts you have submitted so far are awesome. Thanks!
