Chocolate granola, yogurt & blueberries parfait (vegan, GF)

June 28, 2017 By travellingoven 2 Comments

Hey everybody! I’m so sorry I haven’t been so active lately here on the blog but life got in the way and I wasn’t able to make any new recipe or shoot anything at home for the last few weeks because I moved in the new apartment and there was just so much to do. I have been active as much a I could on my social media pages (do you follow me on Facebook and Instagram?) and I was still busy with work-related projects and different shoots but I miss my little studio and creating recipes, shooting and sharing with all of you! I also really really miss travelling but I have plans to change that in the near future! It’s just a little ‘slow-down’ period but I’ll be back with posting regularly as soon as I can. 🙂

Highs and lows of moving…

The last two weeks I was mostly unpacking boxes which they seem like they never end, organizing, cleaning, buying some new furniture and appliances and overall trying to make the new place look more like a home and less like a storage! And all that in almost unbearable heat we’ve been having here in Zagreb, like 34 C and high humidity, I was literally melting! :/ And of course the heat wave hit its peak just exactly in those days when I was moving and had workers in the apartment and about million things to get done so yeah, as you can see it’s been ‘fun’! But I’m definitely not here to complain and bore you, just you know that I always try to be open and honest with you my dear readers so why try to make it look better than it is. It’s been tough and still is but slowly I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully soon I will feel like I have a home again where I can feel cozy and comfortable and safe.

What is home to me…?

That’s what home is about, it doesn’t matter how big or small it is, if it has a nice or not so nice view, if it’s modern or traditional or something in between, if the furniture is expensive custom made or Ikea… Important is that it feels good when you close the doors, when you remove your shoes and walk barefoot, when you get all nice and cozy on the sofa with a cup of coffee in your hands or when you invite friends & family, people you love to share a meal, worries and problems, a place where you can safely cry on their shoulder and laugh until your stomach hurts. Some homes are full of people, some not so much but home is a home and it should be a safe place where you can leave the world in front of your doors and be yourself…with no masks and pretend, with all the flaws and weaknesses, where you accept yourself just the way you are.

So in my new kitchen I wasn’t doing much of the cooking due to all the mess and also the heat so I’ve been eating mostly salads, fruit, smoothies, granolas and all the simple things. And that’s how this simple dessert came to be! 🙂 It couldn’t be easier as you just need to make chocolate granola and than layer it in glasses with yogurt of your choice and fresh blueberries and you get a perfect combination of crunchy and refreshing so kind of just what you need in these hot summer days. Well, at least me and hope you to! 😀

Author: Lili
Recipe type: Dessert (vegan, GF)
Ingredients
  • For chocolate granola
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup (or agave)
  • 2-3 tbsp raw cacao
  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (I used walnuts or pecans + Brazil nuts)
  • ½ cup mixed seeds (sesame, chia and pumpkin)
  • ⅓ cup coconut flakes
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
  • For dessert parfaits
  • (quantities depend on how many people you are making it for)
  • homemade chocolate granola
  • yogurt of your choice (I used bio soya yogurt but you could use Greek yogurt too)
  • fresh blueberries
  • Note: The quantities for granola make 2 larger jars of granola so about 10 smaller portions. For blueberries and yogurt I didn't put quantities as everybody can make layers as they wish.
Preparation
  1. To make chocolate granola preheat oven to 170 C (338 F). Prepare large baking tray and line it with baking paper.
  2. Start by making the chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan combine coconut oil, maple syrup and raw cacao and stir over low heat until it's well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl combine oats, mixed nuts, seeds and coconut flakes and stir with wooden spoon.
  4. Pour the chocolate sauce over the oats mixture and stir it until all the oats/seeds/nuts are coated with chocolate.
  5. Spread the chocolate mixture in the large baking tray and bake it for about 20 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
  7. Once it's cooled store the granola in the glass jars, it will keep well for about 2-3 weeks.
  8. Serve it with cold milk of your choice, yogurt or make dessert parfaits.
  9. To make parfaits simply layer in the glasses some chocolate granola, yogurt and fresh blueberries and repeat two times until you get a dessert like in the photos. Serve cold and enjoy!

      It makes 2 larger jars of granola so around 10 servings. For yogurt and blueberries I didn’t put the quantities because everybody can put as much as they like and depending for how many people they are making the parfait dessert. 🙂

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish y Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish you all a good week! ☺️❄️❄️❄️ If you (like myself) are getting really tired of all this pandemic situation and limitations it has put on our life and freedom, try just focusing on today, taking it one step at a time and look for comfort and hope in nature whenever you can. It has always been my wish to live closer to nature and now I'm longing for it more than ever before...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
