Easy homemade granola makes healthy summer eating a breeze! Use peaches and blueberries in these yogurt granola parfaits, or any summer fruit you like!
2cupsrolled old-fashioned oatsdo not use quick oats
¾cupalmondsroughly chopped
½cupraw pepitas
¼cuphoney
¼cupbrown sugar
¼cup olive oil
¾teaspoonkosher salt
One2.5 oz bagSeneca Apple Chips
Yogurt Parfaits
4peachessliced
1cupblueberries
2cupsyogurtplain or vanilla, regular or Greek
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Give the almonds a rough chop.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, and pepitas.
In a small saucepan, heat the honey and brown sugar over medium low heat, stirring until the sugar is completely melted. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the olive oil and salt. (The olive oil will not completely emulsify into the sugar mixture, so don't worry about that.)
Pour the liquid over the oat mixture and stir until fully incorporated and all the oats, almonds and pepitas are nice and coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes, then remove and stir it around, so the edges aren't getting too dark too fast. Put the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for another 20-27 minutes, until it's golden brown and reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Let the granola cool on the tray for at least an hour. Add one 2.5 ounce bag of your favorite flavor of Seneca Apple Chips.
To make the parfaits, add yogurt, fruit, and granola in alternating layers to a glass, ending with some of that crispy homemade granola on top!
Notes
Granola recipe adapted from NYT Cooking. Makes about 3 - 4 cups.
Measurements for the fruit, yogurt and granola in the parfaits will vary according to the size of glass you are using.
Don't have peaches or blueberries? Use plums or nectarines or cherries or strawberries! Possibilities are endless.
You can use Greek yogurt or regular yogurt. I suggest plain or vanilla flavor, but lemon or strawberry would be great, too!
Store the granola in an airtight container for up to one week.
Nutritional values listed are for the entire batch of granola - about 4 cups - plus the parfait ingredients. But you'll only need two cups of the granola for the parfaits.
