This granola recipe is unlike anything you’ll find at the grocery store. It contains a variety of nuts and seeds including pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, and even sesame seeds.

To get the desirable clusters, peanut butter is warmed on the stove along with a bit of maple syrup and coconut oil.

When tossed with the gluten-free oats, nuts, and seeds, the mixture is absolutely irresistible. 

This granola is just as good by the handful as it is in a Super Seed Maple Granola Yogurt Bowl. To recreate a classic brunch yogurt bowl, I’ve paired the granola with coconut yogurt and a combo of fruit.

Hope you love it. Enjoy!

Ingredients for Super Seed Granola and Yogurt Bowls

No need to leave the house for brunch when you have a batch of this delicious granola on hand! Here’s what you’ll need to make the Super Seed Granola and the dairy-free yogurt bowls. 

  • Creamy Nut Butter: Adding a healthy fat to granola helps bind the ingredients and also eliminates the need for a lot of oil. I used creamy peanut butter, but almond or cashew butter would be delicious too. 
  • Maple Syrup: This natural sweetener gives the granola a nice caramel-like taste.
  • Coconut Oil: To get those desirable chunks, you’ll need to add a bit of coconut oil. When baked, coconut oil doesn’t have an overpowering coconutty taste. 
  • Vanilla Extract: I suggest adding the vanilla once the wet ingredients are off the heat. This keeps the flavor in tact. 
  • Gluten-free Rolled Oats: This type of oats holds their shape well when baked in the oven. The larger flakes help give the granola its extra crunchy texture.
  • Seeds: For this, I used a combo of pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, and sesame seeds. These are all anti-inflammatory powerhouses rich in omegas and fiber. 
  • Flaked Almonds: For a bit more crunch, I also like adding flaked almonds. You can also chop whole almonds into smaller pieces before adding them in. 
  • Honey: Once the granola is out of the oven, I like to drizzle the entire sheet pan with a bit of honey. This helps the clusters form better and adds a bit more sweetness which I enjoy.
  • Serving Suggestions: Add a scoop of coconut yogurt to the bowl and create a well in the middle of it to add a bit more honey. Then add fresh fruit like diced mango, kiwi, strawberries, and blueberries as well as plenty of this delicious seedy granola.

How to Make Super Seed Maple Granola and Yogurt Bowls

Let’s start by making the granola. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 

Add the nut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil to a small saucepan over low heat and stir to combine. Once combined, take off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. 

In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, almonds, chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, and salt and toss to combine.

Pour the maple and nut butter mixture over the oats and seeds mixture and stir until thoroughly combined with a spatula. 

Add the granola to a silicone or parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Toss, and then bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. Be sure to watch the granola carefully because it has a tendency to burn easily! 

Remove from the oven and toss, breaking up any large chunks. 

If you like your granola a bit more sweet (like me), add a drizzle of honey to the granola. This helps it form sweet little crunchy, delicious clusters!

To make your yogurt bowl, add coconut yogurt to a bowl. Top with fresh berries, additional honey, and plenty of granola (of course). Enjoy! 

Note, this granola will last for one week in an airtight container.
