I make this the vegan but I wanted to share my husband and eldest’s way with Greek yogurt to reflect their tastes too here!
It’s the same photo by the way but with different backgrounds as I couldn’t pick my favourite!
Granola is so quick and easy and you can pop it in a sealed container and it can last for a week or two, plus my kids love it (win, win unless you know, you want it all for yourself 😉 )
Ingredients:
Granola (makes 15 servings)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 125ml maple syrup
- 2 tbsp honey (or more maple syrup if you prefer)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (70% and above)
- a sprinkle of cinnamon
- 300g rolled oats
Additional ingredients:
- Greek Yoghurt or Coconut Yoghurt (3/4 of a 500g pot for 2 servings)
- Sprinkling of desiccated coconut
- Strawberry
Method:
- Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Mix the oil, maple syrup, honey, cocoa powder, cinnamon and oats in a large bowl.
- Place on 2 baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes then stir and bake for another 5-10 checking it doesn’t burn.
Once cooled place at the bottom of a glass then add yogurt and a sprinkling of coconut, alternating until you reach the top. Dust with more coconut and add a strawberry on top.
Let me know if you make it..

Looks so tasty! You’re right.. all the pictures look fabulous.
Thank you 🙂 x
I love all the background colors! I am loving the all white images for my blog, white background and surface, but I am going to start playing with color soon, and I love these. I am also pinning this recipe. I love yogurt parfaits and chocolate, what could be better! Thanks.

Thanks so much, I was going to call it a parfait as it goes but I was told by google if it’s not frozen it doesn’t count! Glad you liked it, thanks 🙂
This almost looks too good to eat 🙂 I think I like the pink background best x

Thanks Sarah, I couldn’t decide on my favourite background! x
Oh serious yum! I so miss granola on the GAPS diet. It is the one thing that I would never get bored of…that and yoghurt…but I am beginning to think that I don’t tolerate dairy which is a real pain in the behind! Fingers crossed I am wrong!

Oh no Vicki, I hope you can and I really do love oats, I do hear great things about GAPS though, maybe you can reintroduce oats and yoghurt down the line xx
Oh my word this looks delicious! Definitely going to try it 🙂 to be fair, you had me at ‘chocolate’ Mim x

Yum! Thanks for sharing this – I have all of those ingredients in my cupboard too, once my red velvet cake is done I am definitely giving this a go. Breakfast can be so boring, but this looks fab!

Yay and vow to a red velvet cake, if you blog either, please come link up to Tasty Tuesdays tomorrow, thanks 🙂 x
Granola is one of my favourite snacks! I don’t tend to have it for breakfast, but I love it sprinkled over Greek yoghurt (what else?). I’ll definitely have a go at your chocolate version: the kids will love that!
