Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, honey, almond extract, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sliced almonds. Stir until the oats and almonds are well coated with the honey.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown, stirring halfway through for even baking. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once the granola has cooled, mix in the dried cranberries.
While the granola is cooling, wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into bite-sized pieces.
To assemble the parfaits, layer 1/4 cup of the low-fat Greek yogurt into the bottom of each of four glasses or jars.
On top of the yogurt, add a layer of sliced strawberries and blueberries.
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the homemade granola over the berries in each glass.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a final drizzle of honey if desired and a few slices of fresh fruit on top for presentation.
Serve immediately or refrigerate and enjoy later!
