Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your granola cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts), ground cardamom, cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil and honey (or maple syrup) until fully combined. This mixture will add sweetness and help bind the granola together.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure that all the oats and nuts are evenly coated with the oil and sweetener.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to flatten it into an even layer, which will help it clump together as it bakes.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning; the granola should be golden brown when done.
- Once the granola is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchy as it cools.
- While the granola is cooling, prepare your parfaits. In serving glasses or bowls, layer yogurt and mixed berries. Start with a layer of yogurt, followed by a layer of berries, and then a layer of granola. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled.
- Finish each parfait with a sprinkle of additional granola on top for extra crunch and garnish with a few more berries if desired.
- Serve the Rebes Chai Cardamom Granola Parfaits immediately for a delicious breakfast or snack. Enjoy!
Tips
- Toast your nuts before adding them to the granola for an extra depth of flavor.
- Use room temperature coconut oil for easier mixing with honey or maple syrup.
- For maximum crunchiness, spread the granola in a thin, even layer on the baking sheet.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing to maintain its crisp texture.
- Experiment with different nuts and berries to customize your parfait.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.
- Store extra granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks for quick breakfasts.
- For a more indulgent version, drizzle a little extra honey between layers.
