Ingredients
Scale
Granola
- 1 and 1/2 cups oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp almond butter
Roasted Nectarines
- 3 medium nectarines (or peaches)
- 3 tbsp sugar
Assembly
- Vanilla yogurt (as desired)
Instructions
- Make the Granola: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a large bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Add olive oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond butter. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Prepare the Nectarines: While the granola bakes, slice the nectarines into even wedges. Toss the slices with sugar in a bowl and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out their natural juices.
- Roast the Nectarines: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. After the nectarines have rested, spread them evenly on the baking sheet. When the granola is finished, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C). Once preheated, roast the nectarines for 12-14 minutes, or until they are juicy and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Assemble the Yogurt Bowl: Spoon vanilla yogurt into serving bowls. Top with warm roasted nectarines and a generous amount of the homemade granola. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful mix of creamy, crunchy, and sweet flavors.
- Storage: Store any leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Keep leftover roasted nectarines in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Notes
- Sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut can be used based on preference.
- Peaches can be substituted with nectarines or other stone fruit depending on availability.
- Adjust sugar amount for roasted fruit based on sweetness preference or fruit ripeness.
- Almond butter adds richness but can be substituted with any nut butter or omitted.
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt.
