Orange Honey Granola Parfaits with Greek Yogurt and Citrus Crunch

Skip the store-bought snacks and make these simple, flavorful Orange and Honey Granola Parfaits at home.

In our busy mornings, granola is a household staple — from homemade chocolate chip granola bars for the kids to big bowls of oats with milk or yogurt for the adults. Homemade granola is far more affordable than store-bought versions, and it’s endlessly customizable: swap nuts, add dried fruit, or toss in shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.

For these Orange and Honey Granola Parfaits I use orange juice to brighten the granola while adding the moisture needed for even roasting. A good-quality orange juice brings a bright citrus note that complements the honey and toasted nuts.

The orange juice helps the oats and nuts absorb flavor, and as the mixture bakes the liquid concentrates, yielding a crunchy, toasted granola that’s better than many store-bought bags. Once baked and cooled, the granola can be paired with yogurt and fresh fruit to make a parfait, stirred into milk for breakfast, or packed as a snack.

These parfaits are easy to build: layers of creamy yogurt, bright fruit, and crunchy orange-scented granola. They work for a casual family breakfast or a light brunch spread alongside other orange-forward dishes like orange ricotta pancakes or a fruit salad with orange poppy seed dressing.

Make the granola ahead and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. When you’re ready, layer it with yogurt and fruit for an easy, delicious breakfast the whole family will enjoy.

Prep Time 20 mins

Cook Time 35 mins

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup sliced almonds
• 3/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
• 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup Florida’s Natural Orange Juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup raisins
• Yogurt and fruit, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add the oats, sliced almonds, and chopped pistachios to the baking sheet. Stir to combine and spread in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and transfer the oats and nuts to a large bowl.
3. Stir in the flaked coconut.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, orange juice, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt.
5. Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and toss until thoroughly combined.
6. Return the granola to the lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
7. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown. Turn off the oven and leave the baking sheet inside for an extra 10 minutes to finish drying.
8. Remove the granola, stir once more, and let it cool completely on the baking sheet — it will crisp as it cools.
9. Once cooled, stir in the raisins or other dried fruit. Serve layered with yogurt and fresh fruit, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
