Ingredients
- 5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups pecans coarsely chopped
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup peanuts chopped
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 cups mixed berries such as blackberries and blueberries
- 2 pineapples sliced top to bottom score the inside.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Combine the oats, pecans, sunflower seeds and peanuts in a large bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sugar, honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and 1/4 cup water. Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mix and stir until combined. Pour onto two baking sheets and spread evenly.
- Bake 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to allow for even browning. Raise the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue to bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Pour the cooked oat mixture into a bowl and stir in the raisins, cranberries and coconut. Let cool. The granola will keep in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool dry place for up to 3 weeks.
- In four pineapple halves create alternating layers of granola, yogurt and berries. Top with remaing granola.
- Serve cold.

April 4, 2016 at 8:14 PMFirst off, great presentation. I never would have thought of serving something in a half a pineapple. Second the granola recipe sounds fabulous. This along with some greek yogurt and fresh fruit would be a fantastic brunch or breakfast. Even lunch. Thanks for the great idea and the recipe.
Marilyn Lesniak
April 5, 2016 at 7:45 PMI must confess. All my bowls were in the dishwasher. Being too lazy to wash them by hand I eyed a watermelon I had. Remembering the images of folks putting melon balls inside one I figured, hey, why not! Don’t tell my secret.????????
