Ingredients

Granola

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut

Cherries

  • 2 cups pitted cherries fresh or frozen (defrosted)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract or 1 tablespoon amaretto

Other Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup more for a sweeter yogurt
  • Chopped dark chocolate optional

Instructions

Granola

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Add in the oats, cinnamon and salt and stir everything together until coated. Pour the oats out onto the baking sheet and spread them into a single layer.
  • Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven, toss and add in the almonds. Bake for another 5 minutes then remove and add in the coconut. Bake for a final 4-5 minutes or until everything is golden brown, watch carefully to prevent it from burning. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Cherries

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a pie plate or baking dish with cooking spray. Add in the cherries, maple syrup and salt and toss together until coated.
  • Roast the cherries for about 10 minutes then remove from the oven and add in the water and toss together. Bake for another 5 minutes or until the cherries have softened and released their juices.
  • Remove from the oven and stir in the almond extract or amaretto. Cool before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Assembling the Yogurt Bowl

  • In a medium sized bowl stir together the Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Divide the yogurt into bowls and top with some of the cherries and their juices, a sprinkling of granola and chopped dark chocolate.

Notes

The granola and cherries can be made in advance and used throughout the week.
