Ingredients
Step-by-Step Method
Make the Granola Base
Preheat oven to 160°C. Mix rolled oats with melted coconut oil, 1 tbsp honey, a pinch of salt, and half the pumpkin seeds in a bowl until every oat is lightly coated. Spread in a thin, even layer on a lined baking tray — do not pile it. A thin layer is what creates even crunch. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring once at the 10-minute mark. The granola is ready when it turns pale gold and smells nutty. It will still feel slightly soft when hot but crisps as it cools.
Cool the Granola
Remove the tray from the oven and leave it completely undisturbed at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Do not stir it, do not move it to another container while warm. Stirring warm granola breaks the clusters and sealing it warm traps steam, both of which destroy the crunch you just built. Once fully cool and firm to the touch, transfer to an airtight jar.
Prepare the Skyr
Take skyr out of the fridge 10 minutes before assembly. Add vanilla extract and stir through until fully combined. Taste it — if the sharpness is strong, add a very small drizzle of honey and stir again. The skyr should taste lightly tangy and mildly sweet, not sharp enough to make you wince. Divide evenly between two wide bowls, spreading it with the back of a spoon so it covers most of the base.
Prep the Fruit
Wash the berries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Wet fruit sitting on skyr makes the surface watery. Slice larger strawberries in half. Leave blueberries whole. If using banana, slice it just before serving — sliced banana oxidises quickly and turns brown within minutes.
Assemble the Bowl
Spoon cooled granola over one side of the skyr base. Arrange fresh berries on the other side. Scatter hemp seeds, remaining pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds over the top. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey in a thin line across the bowl. Do this in the right order — granola first, then fruit, then seeds, then honey — so the granola does not get weighted down and lose its crunch before you take the first spoonful.
Serve Immediately
Serve right away while the granola is still fully crunchy. The bowl sits well for about 15 minutes before the granola begins to soften noticeably. If you need to transport it, pack the granola in a separate container and add it at the last moment. Eat with a wide spoon that catches skyr, granola, and fruit in the same bite for the best texture combination.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the granola crunchy?
Spread the oats in a thin, even layer rather than piling them, bake at 160°C for 18 to 22 minutes stirring once at the 10-minute mark, then leave the tray completely undisturbed for at least 15 minutes to cool. Stirring it warm breaks the clusters and sealing it warm traps steam, both of which ruin the crunch.
How can this take 5 minutes if the granola bakes for 20?
The granola is made ahead and stored in an airtight jar, so assembling a bowl from prepared granola, skyr and fruit takes only about 5 minutes. Make a batch of granola once and it keeps for several bowls.
In what order should I build the bowl?
Granola first, then fruit, then seeds, then a thin drizzle of honey last. Building it in that order keeps the granola from being weighed down and losing its crunch before the first spoonful.
Why does my bowl go watery?
Usually from wet fruit sitting on the skyr. Wash the berries and pat them dry before adding them, and slice banana only just before serving since it oxidises and browns within minutes. Serve the bowl right away, as the granola starts to soften noticeably after about 15 minutes.
