Homemade Granola Parfait Recipes

GRANOLA PARFAIT CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the wells of a 12-cup shallow muffin tin with nonstick spray; set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir the oats, pecans, sunflower seeds, honey, olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and a pinch of salt until completely combined. Press 2 heaping tablespoons in each well of the prepared muffin tin, pressing to go up the sides (if you have additional granola, use an additional muffin tin). Bake until golden and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely, then remove the granola cups from the muffin tin.
• In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the yogurt and remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Fill each granola cup with about 2 tablespoons yogurt and top with the blueberries and a sprig of mint to serve.

CEREAL GRANOLA PARFAIT

Steps:

• For the granola: Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Toast the rolled oats, coconut, pecans, cinnamon and salt in a large skillet over medium heat until everything is toasted and aromatic, about 2 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup, butter and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for about a minute to thicken slightly. Fold in the corn puff cereal until completely coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer to let cool slightly.
• For the parfait: While the granola is cooling off, stir together the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon.
• In 4 glasses or mason jars, layer in a spoonful of granola, a layer of yogurt and a layer of mixed raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, repeating as many times as your vessel will fit and finishing with a layer of yogurt. Top each parfait with a couple of berries. Serve right away or chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• For the granola: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the oats, almonds and coconut together on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat.
• Whisk together the vegetable oil and honey in a liquid measuring cup, then pour over the oat mixture. Stir until all the oats and nuts are coated. Season with salt to taste.
• Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool. Add the cherries, cranberries, and pineapple chunks. Drizzle with some of the maple syrup and toss together.
• To build the parfaits: Line up eight parfait glasses. Start with a large spoonful of the granola, followed by a layer of yogurt, then a layer of berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Repeat the layers one more time, finishing with berries, drizzled with maple syrup.
