How to make homemade granola

It’s easy to make your own homemade granola. You can customize it to suit your tastes and then store it in the pantry for up to two months.

Homemade granola is mostly oats. You then add in nuts, seeds, vanilla extract, coconut flakes and oil.
Bake at 300F for 50 minutes, stirring once or twice during that time.
Let it cool for at least ten minutes then add dried berries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a yogurt parfait made of?

Yogurt parfaits are generally made of yogurt, granola and some kind of fruit. You can get creative with the toppings to include whatever you have on hand or any produce that’s in season! Honey, fruit jams, nuts, raisins, mini chocolate chips, coconut flakes and chia or flax seeds would all be great in a yogurt parfait.

Can I add more protein?

Using Greek yogurt will automatically up the protein content of your yogurt parfait, but if you want to add even more protein, you can add in some nut butter, nuts, chia and flax seeds.

Are yogurt parfaits healthy?

Yes! Yogurt parfaits are a super healthy (and delicious) breakfast idea. They’re high in protein and have tons of great nutrients thanks to the fresh fruit. If you want to make your parfait even healthier, use homemade granola to avoid all the added sugar that most store-bought granolas contain.

How many calories are in this recipe?

There are 221 calories per yogurt parfait.

What kind of yogurt should I use?

I personally like using plain Greek yogurt for my parfaits. It’s high in protein which means you’ll stay full longer and is super healthy. If you don’t have any Greek yogurt, plain yogurt or your favourite non-dairy yogurt will work just as well.

Storing your parfaits

You can store these yogurt parfaits in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This means that you have a whole week of healthy ready-made breakfasts with just a little work on the weekends! You can eat right out of the mason jar or dump it all into a bowl.
