"If I'm on the road, all I have to do is buy a tub of Greek yogurt, mix in this yummy granola, and I have my own 'road parfait.'"

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings (plus extra granola)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey, plus more for drizzling
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup shelled and salted sunflower seeds
2 cups low-fat plain Greek yogurt
Fresh berries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss together the oats, coconut and almonds in a large bowl. Whisk together the vegetable oil and honey in a small bowl, then stir into the oats mixture. Spread the mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the dried cranberries, raisins and sunflower seeds.
  • Line up 4 parfait, wine or other tall glasses. Carefully spoon a large dollop of yogurt into each and top with a large spoonful of granola. Add a few berries, then drizzle with honey. Repeat the layers once more in each glass. Store extra granola in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 parfaits, plus 10 cups granola

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup peanuts, chopped
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
2 cups Greek yogurt
2 cups mixed berries, such as blackberries and blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Combine the oats, pecans, sunflower seeds and peanuts in a large bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sugar, honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and 1/4 cup water. Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mix and stir until combined. Pour onto two baking sheets and spread evenly.
  • Bake 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to allow for even browning. Raise the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue to bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Pour the cooked oat mixture into a bowl and stir in the raisins, cranberries and coconut. Let cool. The granola will keep in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool dry place for up to 3 weeks.
  • In four parfait glasses or a large glass bowl, create alternating layers of granola, yogurt and berries, using a total of 2 cups of the granola.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits and berries to add flavor and nutrients to your parfait. Some good choices include blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, and mangoes.
  • If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it before adding it to your parfait. This will help to prevent the parfait from becoming too icy.
  • To make your parfait more creamy, use Greek yogurt or cottage cheese instead of regular yogurt.
  • Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to your parfait for a touch of sweetness.
  • Top your parfait with granola, nuts, or seeds for a crunchy texture.

Conclusion:

Granola parfaits are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fruits, yogurts, and toppings to choose from, you can create a parfait that's perfect for you.
