Directions:

Make Homemade Granola

1. Pre-heat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly grease with oil by using a paper towel to spread over the baking sheet. Set aside.

2. Using a whisk or a fork, combine together the oil, honey, cinnamon and salt.

3. Add oats and sunflower seeds, and stir to coat. If using shredded coconut, add it in at this step and stir to coat.

4. Spread the oat mixture onto an even layer prepared baking sheet. If the mixture is clumpy, use a spatula or spoon to press it into the pan.

5. Bake for 15-20 mins. Have an adult stir the oats half way through. The granola is ready when golden-brown and sunflower seeds have toasted.

6. Remove from oven and stir in dried fruit if using. Allow to cool completely, about 30 mins to 1 hour.

Store in an airtight container and store at room temperature.

Assemble Yogurt Parfaits

2. In your parfait cup or bowl layer yogurt, fruit and granola, repeat the with a second layer of each, you should have 6 layers total.
