Step by step
Get ahead
Make the granola and compote up to 3 days ahead; store the granola in an airtight container and the compote in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C, fan 130°C, gas 2. Put the oats, coconut, seeds and nuts in a bowl and mix to combine. Spread the mixture out in a large tin. Drizzle over the agave nectar and turn the mixture to coat. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring now and then.
- Tip the baked granola into a bowl, stir in the chopped dried fruit and cherries; leave to cool.
-
For the compote, put the blueberries and cordial into a pan over a low heat for 5-10 minutes until softened. Tip into a bowl; cool.TipThis will make double the granola you need, but it keeps well so it's worth making a decent-sized batch.
- Serve the granola with the blueberry compote and Greek yogurt.
