Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

Walnut-Honey Mix:

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

  • 1 cup light honey

Granola:

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • ¾ cup raw buckwheat groats

  • ½ cup buckwheat flakes

  • ½ cup chopped raw almonds

  • ½ cup chopped raw hazelnuts

  • ½ cup sunflower seeds

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

  • teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ cup light olive oil

  • ½ cup packed coconut sugar

  • ¼ cup brown rice syrup, or more to taste

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

  • ½ cup coarsely ground flax seeds

  • ½ cup raisins

  • ¼ cup golden raisins

Yogurt Bowls:

  • 10 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt

  • 5 cups fresh raspberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Combine walnuts and honey in a jar, cover, and set aside.

  3. Combine oats, groats, buckwheat flakes, almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger in a bowl; toss until completely mixed.

  4. Stir together olive oil, coconut sugar, and brown rice syrup in a small saucepan over low heat until combined. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour over the dry mixture and mix until evenly combined; spread over the prepared baking sheets.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Stir, rotate baking sheets, and bake for another 15 minutes. Stir, rotate again, and bake until golden brown, about 15 more minutes. Sprinkle coconut, flax seeds, and raisins over the granola and toss to mix. Turn the oven off, but leave trays inside and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  6. Place 1/2 cup yogurt in a deep single-serve bowl. Top with a scant 1/3 cup granola, 1/4 cup raspberries, and 1/8 cup walnut-honey mix. Repeat to assemble remaining bowls.

Tips

Cook's Notes:

I don't suggest using honey in the granola as cooking it can harm the beneficial nutrients. If you can't find brown rice syrup use either maple syrup, agave, or sorghum syrup.

If you like clumpier granola, don't stir when you rotate the baking sheets.

This recipe makes a bit more granola and honey soaked walnuts than necessary for 20 servings of yogurt. Leftover granola and honey-walnuts can be stored in separate airtight containers for up to 6 weeks in your kitchen cabinet. A quick stir of the honey-walnut mixture just before using will ensure an adequate amount of both walnuts and honey.
