Paleo Granola Yogurt Parfait with grain-free or nut-free choices! With fruit compote, dairy-free yogurt and crunchy granola. Best healthy Paleo breakfast on the go! Makes 7 cups granola.
INGREDIENTS
For the Paleo Granola:
- 4 cups mixed seeds and nuts, such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, goji berries, almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios
- ½ cup cacao nibs
- ½ cup coconut flakes
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup, or 2 tbsp monk fruit maple-flavored syrup
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1.5 cups mixed unsweetened dried fruits, such as golden berries, mulberries, figs, dates, raisins, dried sour cherries, and/or apricots, finely chopped
To Serve:
- Strawberry compote, jam, etc (frozen, mashed strawberries work well)
- Dairy-free yogurt or greek yogurt, unsweetened and plain, about ½ cup per serving
- Fresh berries of choice, strawberries, black berries, blueberries
INSTRUCTIONS
For the Paleo Granola:
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Mix everything well except the dried fruits in a large mixing bowl.
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment. Spread the seeds onto the prepared sheet in one single layer. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Stir every 10 minutes.
- Use this time to finely chop the dry fruits in a small food processor or other kitchen device. You might need to scrape the bowl and pulse a few times.
- Once the nuts and/or seeds are out of the oven, let cool for 5 minutes. Toss in chopped dry fruits and set the sheet aside to let cool completely (it’ll crisp up more).
To Serve and Store:
To store: Granola can be made 2 weeks ahead; store airtight at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.
To serve or pack: add the strawberry compote to a wide mouth mason jar and top with yogurt and fresh berries on top. Pack the granola in a separate container or it will get soggy. Sprinkle it over before serving.
More ways to serve: Serve the granola with cold dairy-free milk or enjoy it straight as a healthy snack!
NOTES:
