Ingredients
Meringues
- 2 egg whites
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Pinch of cream of tartar or xanthan gum
Granola
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup raw almonds, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup dried cherries
Serve
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced
Directions
Meringues
- Preheat your oven to 225°F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk your whites, sugar, and cream of tartar together. Whisk until stiff peaks form, then transfer to a piping bag.
- Pipe out dollops of the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, then place in the oven for two to two and a half hours.
- Remove and allow to cool. Store in an air-tight container for up to five days.
Granola
- Increase the oven up to 325° F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, maple syrup, oil, almonds, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Remove and allow to cool (the granola hardens as it cools). Store in an air-tight container for up to 10 days.
Serve
- Place a dollop of Greek yogurt, followed by some of the strawberries, crumbled-up meringue, and a sprinkling of granola. Repeat with another layer of yogurt, berries, meringue, and top it off with a final sprinkling of homemade granola. Enjoy!
