Homemade 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.

• For the granola: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• 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.

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.
