Homemade Granola Parfait

At Au Bon Pain they sell already made parfaits for people on the go. These parfaits are very bland and have no flavor. So a few days ago I decided to make my own granola. It turned out to be amazing and so easy to make, the parfaits tasted flavorful and had a crunch to it. Making the granola is so easy, it only takes about 45 minutes to make and lasts up to two weeks. I hope you enjoy the recipe for my Homemade Granola Parfait.

Ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
2 1/2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup cranberry raisins

Parfait:
1 cup greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups of homemade granola
1/2 cup cut strawberries
1\2 tablespoon honey

First pre heat the oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. Then in a bowl mix together the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and salt. In a spate bowl mix together the honey and the canola oil. Add the honey mixture to the oats and mix together until the oats are thoroughly coated. 


Place the granola on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it out as thin as possible.


Bake for 15 minutes, then stir the mixture and cook again for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown. 


Add the cranberry raisins, and watch the mixture for about 20 minutes and stir occasionally. Let the granola sit for about an hour before use.


layer the greek yogurt, honey, granola, and strawberries, repeat 1-2 more times or until the glass is full.
