Granola is one of my favorite breakfast foods – all the different flavors and textures are a taste sensation!
Plus it is something that you can customise so easily to your own personal preferences, so you can make your own perfect blend. Here is my other Homemade Granola you might like to check out next.
The granola in this recipe is made with a variety of delicious ingredients like dates, almond butter, honey, raw almonds, and sunflower seeds.
Once cooked and cooled is layered with creamy Greek yogurt and fruit – we’ve used strawberry and banana, but you could use other fruit like raspberries, blueberries, or chopped apple too.
For breakfast to take on-the-go with you to work or school, you can layer the Strawberry Banana Granola Parfaits in mason jars and tuck in when ready.
Or if serving at home, why not place into parfait dishes for a Sunday Brunch gathering?
The layers of homemade granola, luscious strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and ripe bananas look so pretty, and taste amazing when you dig in with a spoon!

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. You can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a bit of overlap on the sides.
- In a high-powered blender or a food processor, combine the pitted dates, almond butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the date mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the oats, cinnamon, salt, almonds, and sunflower seeds. Mix until well combined and the oats and nuts are nicely coated.
- Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking dish and pat it down into an even layer. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden brown and toasted on top.
- Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Granola will crumble as you remove it from the pan, with some larger chunks.
- To serve, alternate layers of Greek yogurt, granola, sliced bananas, and fresh strawberries in 4 parfait dishes or mason jars. Enjoy!
