Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsalted nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (such as cranberries or raisins, no added salt)
- 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (low sodium)
- 1 cup Fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1 piece Sliced banana
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, unsalted nuts, unsalted sunflower seeds, and ground cinnamon.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and pure vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely before stirring in the dried fruit.
To assemble the parfaits, layer each serving glass with 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of the granola, and some fresh berries and sliced bananas.
Repeat layers and serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
