Cereal Granola Parfait Food

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.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA PARFAIT

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.

ANDREW'S GRANOLA PARFAIT

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the bananas, grapefruit and pineapple. In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork, then add the yogurt and mix. Fill a parfait glass with one-third of the fruit mixture, then one-third of the raspberry yogurt and one-third of the House-Made Granola. Repeat the layers two more times, then serve.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the honey and coconut oil. Stir until combined, then remove from the heat. On the prepared baking sheet, mix the rolled oats, almonds, coconut, pepitas, puffed rice, sugar, salt and ginger. Drizzle with the honey mixture and toss to coat, then spread out the granola in an even layer. Bake, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until golden, 40 minutes.

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.

• 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.
