hazelnut granola pudding bowl :)

This honey-sweetened granola and rooibos-tea chia pudding are both worth making and enjoying on their own, but together with yogurt and a swirl of jam they become a breakfast you’ll want to eat on repeat.

Ingredients      Makes 4 portions

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped skin-on hazelnuts or pecans
  • ½ cup skin-on almonds
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup virgin coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. flaky sea salt
  • 3 cups brewed rooibos tea, cooled
  • ¾ cup chia seeds

 

Assembly

  • 4 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 4 Tbsp. apricot jam
  • Chia seeds (for serving; optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 150°. Toss oats, hazelnuts, almonds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a large bowl.
  2. Heat honey, oil, and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium-low, whisking until melted and combined, about 2 minutes. Pour over oat mixture and mix thoroughly to coat. Spread out on a rimmed parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt.
  3. Bake granola 10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Return to oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, 8–10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir again. Let cool on baking sheet.
  4. Combine tea and chia seeds in a 1-qt. jar or airtight container. Cover and shake to combine. Let sit 5 minutes, then shake again. Let sit at least another 15 minutes before serving. (You’ll have enough granola and chia pudding for about 16 servings. Keep on hand for making more bowls or other uses (try a scoop of chia pudding in a smoothie!).

 

Do Ahead: Granola and chia pudding can be made 10 days ahead. Store granola airtight at room temperature and chill chia pudding.

 

Assembly
