Homemade Granola Yogurt Parfait

About This Recipe

Rolled oats tossed with almonds, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries in a maple syrup and peanut butter sauce.  The granola is served with Greek yogurt and your favorite fruit.

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• ½ cup sunflower seed kernels
• ¼ cup sliced almonds
• ¾ cup dried cranberries
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 2 Tbsp peanut butter
• 2 ½ cups plain non fat Greek yogurt
• Stevia or another zero calorie sweetener to taste
• 5 servings of your favorite fruit. I used 2 lbs of strawberries here. Strawberries will not always be in season so I want to leave this choice up to you.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 Tbsp coconut oil, and 2 Tbsp peanut butter. Melt in the microwave and stir.
3. Add 2 cups of oats, ½ cup sunflower seeds, ¼ cup sliced almonds, and ¾ cup of dried cranberries to the bowl and stir to evenly coat.
4. Spread out the granola on a sheet pan and bake for 7-8 minutes. Pull it out and try a small piece. The granola should be lightly toasted. If it needs more time put it back in the oven and watch it carefully. You absolutely do not want to burn this.
5. Measure out 2 ½ cups of plain Greek yogurt. Use stevia or another zero calorie sweetener to sweeten the Greek yogurt to taste.
6. Prepare your favorite fruit to add to the containers.
7. This recipe makes 5 servings. Put ½ cup of Greek yogurt in each container as well as one serving of your fruit. Divide the granola evenly between the containers.
