Red, White and Blue Patriotic Parfaits

Servings 2 large parfaits

Ingredients
  

  • For the granola:
  • 6 cups rolled oats not the quick instant oats
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts I used walnuts
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 cup coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • For the parfait:
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup strawberries sliced

Instructions
 

  • For the granola:
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a very large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pecans, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, salt, and sugar if using. Stir to combine.
  • Whisk the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and the honey together. Pour over the oats mixture and stir until the mixture is well combined and is completely coated. Pour into a large baking sheet in a single layer. It will be a thick layer, which is okay, you want it to create large clusters.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, stir and bake for another 10 minutes. Stiry again and bake for a final 5 minutes and remove from the oven.
  • Do not stir right away. The granola will will become more clumpy as it dries.
  • When granola is completely cooled, layer 1/4 cup of blueberries in the bottom of a glass. Add 1/4 cup of yogurt on top, then add 1/4 cup granola. Add 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and blueberries, another 1/4 cup of yogurt and another 1/4 cup of granola on top. Garnish with more blueberries and strawberries and serve immediately.
