Baobab and Brazil Nut Granola Bowl with Greek Yogurt

This granola pairs two African-rooted ingredients with a couple of everyday pantry staples: baobab powder for its tangy, citrusy edge, and a light hand of chopped brazil nuts baked right into the oats. Pumpkin seeds go in for crunch and a genuine zinc contribution.

Brazil nuts are one of the most concentrated natural sources of selenium around, which is exactly why we've included a couple per serving rather than a whole handful — enough to bring real value to the thyroid-safe tag without going overboard, since a little goes a long way with this particular nut. We'd suggest treating this granola as a few-times-a-week breakfast rather than a daily one, simply to keep your selenium intake sensible.

Spooned over a bowl of plain Greek yogurt with a few fresh berries, it turns into a breakfast that feels indulgent but is really just oats, nuts, seeds, and yogurt doing what they do best.
