Organic sourcing
Berries are on the Dirty Dozen list, making them a priority for organic sourcing. Skyr and oats are less affected, but organic dairy often supports better practices.
Ingredients
- 2 cups skyr
- 1 cup rolled oats, gluten-free
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (e.g. blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
Method
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.
- In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat, then stir in the honey, cinnamon, and sea salt until combined.
- Pour the honey mixture over the oat-seed mix and stir until fully coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
- To serve, divide the skyr equally into four bowls.
- Top each skyr bowl with the seed granola, fresh berries, and chopped almonds.
- Serve immediately, and store any extra granola in an airtight container.
Notes
- Skyr can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a similar texture.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to make it vegan.
- Granola keeps well in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
