Pecan-Cherry Toasted Muesli Yogurt Cups

Full of healthy whole grains, nuts, seeds and dried fruit, granola seems healthy. But its coating of oil and sweeteners can equal a wallop of calories and added sugar. Enter muesli: it has the hearty goodness of granola, but without those other extras. Keep some on hand to pair with yogurt or make these cute parfaits for a morning buffet.

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup slivered almonds
½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
½ cup unsweetened large coconut flakes
¼ cup wheat germ or wheat bran
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened dried tart cherries
4 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine oats, almonds, pecans, coconut, wheat germ (or bran) and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix well. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake, stirring halfway through, until the edges are toasty and golden, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the muesli with salt and transfer the pan to a wire rack. Let cool completely, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in dried cherries.
Place 1/4 cup muesli in each of 8 small bowls or ramekins. Top each with 1/2 cup yogurt, then sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of the remaining muesli.

To make ahead

Store muesli airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
