Ingredients
Parfait (Serves 1)
- 125g 0% fat Greek Yoghurt
- 25g raspberries
- 25g blackberries
- ½ tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
- Pinch of cinnamon
Granola (10 servings)
- 200g oats
- 30g pumpkin seeds
- 30g sunflower seeds
- 30g flaked almond
- 60g mixed dried fruit
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tbsp coconut oil
- 60ml sugar free maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 150c.
- Mix together coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla and honey in a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the dry granola ingredients - oats, seeds, almonds and dried fruit - to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Place into the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, giving it a shake halfway through baking.
- Meanwhile, place your berries into a small saucepan with orange juice and cinnamon.
- Bring the fruit to a simmer and gently mash the fruit down. Cook for a further 10 minutes until the fruit starts to thicken like a jam.
- Once your granola is ready, layer yoghurt, granola and fruit and enjoy.
Top Tip #1: Once the granola has cooked, keep it an airtight container and store for up to a month for a quick and easy breakfast. This recipe makes 10 servings of granola!
Top Tip #2: You can also make a larger portion of the berry compote and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze smaller amounts, in ice cube trays for example, which will save for up to a month.
