Sometimes finding healthy breakfast ideas can get a bit tiresome, (there’s only so many ways to eat an egg that will satisfy right?!) but fear not as I’ve decided to get back to basics (and my roots) rustling up Greek yoghurt breakfast pot to get me excited about brekkie again!
I flung together my favourite flavour combinations here: chocolate, coconut and creamy, thick yoghurt to create a breakfast-style pot. Oh with a strawberry on top!
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 yoghurt and a sprinkling of coconut, alternating until you reach the top. Dust with more coconut and add a strawberry on top.
Delicious, healthy and high in protein and slow releasing carbs. The perfect breakfast!
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!
