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.

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.
