Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Raw unsalted sunflower seeds
• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Low sodium plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cups Mixed fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to form an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Step 9

To serve, scoop 1/2 cup of low sodium plain Greek yogurt into each serving bowl.

Step 10

Top with a generous handful of homemade granola and garnish with fresh mixed berries.

Step 11

Enjoy as a wholesome breakfast or a healthy snack!
