Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Dried cranberries
- 4 cups Plain or vanilla yogurt
- 3 cups Fresh fruits (e.g., berries, banana slices, or diced mango)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, and sunflower seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, mix together the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Alternatively, you can do this step in the microwave.
Pour the honey mixture over the oats mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, fold in the dried cranberries and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of yogurt into four serving glasses or bowls.
Add a layer of fresh fruits, followed by a layer of granola. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a sprinkle of granola and a few fruit pieces on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nourishing breakfast parfaits!
