Method

Prepare the fresh fruit
Rinse the Strawberry and Blueberry under cold water and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Hull the Strawberry and slice it into thin, vertical pieces from top to bottom. If the Blueberry is particularly large, you can slice a few in half to release their juices, but most should remain whole for a popping texture.

Chop the almonds
Take the Almonds (raw) and roughly chop them into uneven shards. You want a mix of fine dust and larger chunks to create a varied, crunchy texture in your homemade granola.
2 min -
Toast the stovetop granola
Melt the Coconut Oil (refined) in a small skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the Rolled Oats, chopped Almonds (raw), and Cinnamon (ground). Stir constantly for 3–5 minutes until the oats turn the color of a digestive biscuit and the kitchen smells like warm cinnamon toast.
5 min -
Cool the granola
Immediately transfer the toasted oat mixture from the hot skillet onto a small plate or parchment paper. Spread it into a thin layer and let it rest for at least 3 minutes; it will crisp up significantly as it cools.
3 min -
Sweeten the yogurt
In a small bowl, combine the Plain Greek Yogurt with about half of the Honey. Stir gently until the honey is fully incorporated and the yogurt looks glossy. Taste a small amount to ensure the balance of tang and sweetness is to your liking.

Layer the parfait
In a tall glass, add a generous spoonful of the sweetened yogurt to the bottom. Follow with a layer of Blueberry and Strawberry, then a sprinkle of the cooled granola. Repeat the layers until the glass is full, finishing with a final topping of berries, the remaining granola, and a decorative drizzle of the remaining Honey.
