Mango And Coconut Granola Parfaits Food

GRANOLA PARFAITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss together the oats, coconut and almonds in a large bowl. Whisk together the vegetable oil and honey in a small bowl, then stir into the oats mixture. Spread the mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the dried cranberries, raisins and sunflower seeds.
• 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.

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.
