Preheat and Prep: First, preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. This is a crucial step to prevent the granola from sticking as the maple syrup caramelises.

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, mixed seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Give it a good stir to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl or jug, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until they are well combined.

Make the Granola Mixture: Pour the wet mixture over the dry oat mixture. Use a spatula to stir everything together thoroughly, making sure every oat and nut is lightly coated. This coating is what helps it crisp up beautifully in the oven.

Bake the Granola: Spread the granola mixture onto your prepared baking tray in an even, thin layer. What works best for me is spreading it as thinly as possible to ensure maximum crispiness. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it is a lovely golden brown. Keep a close eye on it towards the end, as the nuts can catch and burn quite quickly.

Cool Completely: Remove the tray from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the tray. It will get much crunchier as it cools. This can take about 30 minutes. Once cool, you can break it up into clusters.

Prepare the Berries: While the granola is cooling, wash your berries. Slice any larger strawberries into bite-sized pieces, but leave the smaller raspberries and blueberries whole.

Assemble the Parfaits: Now for the fun part. Grab four glasses or jars. Start with a layer of granola at the bottom, followed by a generous layer of Greek yogurt, and then a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers – granola, yogurt, berries – until the glass is full, finishing with a final scattering of berries and a few small granola clusters on top.

Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch, you can add a small drizzle of maple syrup or honey and a fresh mint leaf on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crunchy granola and creamy yogurt.
