Method

  1. Roughly chop the almonds. Heat a large, wide frying pan over medium heat. Add the oats, almonds and pepitas and toast, stirring often, until they smell nutty and are lightly golden.

  2. Add the coconut, cinnamon and salt and stir until the coconut is golden.

  3. Drizzle over the maple syrup and oil and stir to coat everything. Keep cooking, pressing the mixture into the pan with a spatula now and then, until it's sticky, caramelised and starting to clump. Turn the heat down if it smells like it's catching.

  4. Tip onto a tray lined with baking paper, press into a thin layer and leave to cool and crisp up, then break into clusters.

  5. Spoon the yoghurt into bowls and top with the granola, berries and an extra drizzle of maple.

Tips

  • The granola is soft while hot and crisps as it cools, so don't keep cooking it to make it crunchy.
  • Keeps in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks. Double the batch in a big pan for weekday breakfasts.
  • Use certified gluten-free oats if you need it gluten-free, and coconut yoghurt to make it vegan.
