Ingredients:
Plain organic whole milk yogurt (Tip: buy the large container to save on cost!)
Granola (organic store bought or make your own... Granola Recipe below)
Fruit of choice - we prefer blueberries and strawberries, sliced
8 oz. mason jars with lids
Homemade Maple Granola recipe:
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/2 cup real maple syrup
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 250°.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined.
- Spread granola in one even layer on baking sheet.
- Cook for 45 minutes or until golden.
- Remove pan and let cool completely, and then break apart. Granola will store in a sealed container for up to two weeks.
Putting together the Parfaits:
- Fill the mason jars almost half way with yogurt.
- Add the fruit and then granola on top of the yogurt (if you're making ahead, don't put any granola in the middle because it will get a little soggy).
- Add more yogurt on top of the fruit/granola with some room to spare on top.
- Seal with the jar lid. Store in the fridge.
- When you are ready to eat the parfait, add a generous helping of granola to the top! Enjoy!
