For 2 servings
Make the vegan granola
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Pour the melted coconut oil and maple syrup over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture in a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant. Let it cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools.
Prepare the fruit
- While the granola bakes, gently wash the mixed berries and pat them dry.
- Wash the apple, core it, and slice it thinly or chop into small cubes.
Assemble the yogurt bowls
- Divide the vegan yogurt equally between two bowls.
- Top each bowl with a generous amount of the cooled granola.
- Arrange the fresh berries and apple slices over the granola.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
