Servings 2 people
Equipment
- Oven
- rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
Chocolate Granola:
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- ⅓ cup slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons almond butter or nut butter of choice
Strawberry Yogurt Parfaits:
- 2 (5.3-ounce) containers So Delicious Strawberry Banana Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative or yogurt of choice
- 1 cup quartered strawberries
Instructions
Prepare the Chocolate Granola:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Add oats, almonds, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Stir in maple syrup and almond butter.
- Spread the oat mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the oats begin to harden.
- Cool granola on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes. The granola will continue to crispen as it cools.
- Once cooled, use your hands to break the granola into small pieces
Prepare the Strawberry Yogurt Parfaits:
- Add a third of the So Delicious Yogurt Alternative to the bottom of two glasses. Add a third of the granola and a third of the strawberries. Repeat until all of the ingredients are used. You may have some leftover granola to save for another use.
- For the crunchiest texture, serve immediately after you assemble the parfaits. If you don’t mind softer granola, tightly cover and refrigerate the prepared parfaits for up to 3 days. Store prepared granola in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Storage: Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months. Assemble parfaits ahead of time and refrigerate tightly covered for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the granola will soften over time. For maximum crunch add granola just before serving.
- Substitutions: Substitute any dairy-free yogurt alternative or dairy yogurt (if not vegan). Use store-bought granola if desired.
