Basic Granola & Peach Parfait

Breakfast

Fairgrown

Serves 10 (granola makes 5 cups)

A homemade granola layered with yogurt and fresh peaches for a simple, healthy breakfast or snack. The granola makes about 10 servings and keeps in an airtight container. Sourced from America's Grow-a-Row.

Ingredients

Primary

Peaches— Fresh, sliced (or other fruit of choice)

Additional / Pantry

½ cup canola oil or other neutral oil (coconut or olive oil)
½ cup honey or maple syrup
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Yogurt
Fruit of choice: berries, plums, pineapple, banana, etc.
Toppings: coconut, raisins, nuts, honey, pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Heat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Whisk together the oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Add the oats and stir to coat.
Spread the oats out onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. The granola is ready when golden-brown — it will still feel wet coming out of the oven but will dry as it cools.
Remove from the oven. If you want clumps of granola, press and tamp down the granola before it cools, which will help it stick together. Cool completely before storing.
Store in an airtight container.
To assemble the parfait: In a cup or bowl, spoon in some yogurt, then layer with granola and fruit. Top with seeds, nuts, coconut, or honey.

Notes

Chef's Tips: • You can add nuts and seeds to the granola mixture in step 2 with the oats. • If you like raisins or other dried fruit, stir into the granola after taking it out of the oven in step 5.
