For 4 servings
Prepare the homemade granola
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and honey until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Bake the granola
- Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it's golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisp as it cools.
Assemble the yogurt bowls
- Divide the yogurt evenly among four bowls.
- Top each bowl with about 1/2 cup of the cooled, crunchy granola.
- Garnish with fresh mixed berries.
- Drizzle with a little extra honey if you like it sweeter, and serve immediately.
