How to Prepare Cherry Chocolate Stovetop Granola With Toasted Cashew Banana Yogurt [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

For the Granola:

Toast 1/2 cup coconut in large skillet for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and allow to cool in bowl.
Coat skillet with coconut oil and heat over medium heat. Combine all ingredients together in skillet and cook over medium heat, tossing every minute or so so the bottom doesn’t burn. Continue doing this for 10-12 minutes, when granola is nicely toasted. Remove from burner and allow to cool. Stir in toasted coconut, cherries and dark chocolate.

For the Yogurt:

Heat small skillet over medium heat. Toss in cashews and toast, shaking occasionally until cashews are slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Combine cashews and remaining ingredients in high-speed blender or food processor until smooth. If using a food processor, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides every once in a while. Chill in the fridge while granola cools. This recipe makes approximately 1 cup of yogurt. Keep up to 3 days refrigerated.
Assemble in bowl or in a glass jar for a parfait as pictured below. Top with chia seeds and cut fruit of your choice.
