<<- This is the dessert I usually make with my homemade granola, fruit parfait. Since the first time I made everyone has loved it, even unhealthy sceptics! I usually bulk bake the granola and store it in a airtight container so it there for me to have and use whenever I want, a healthy convenience food! You can have the granola by it self as a snack, with milk for breakfast, top it on your porridge or any yoghurt for a healthy crunch. Try it yourself just to see how simple it is to make, recipe below:
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 10
Ingredients
·
200g
rolled oats
·
2
tbsp of canola/coconut oil
·
3
tbsp of honey
·
100g
of mixed seeds
·
50g
nuts (of your choice, I used flaked almonds)
·
Dried
fruit, pieces.
How
to make it:
- Preheat
the oven to 200°C.
- Mix
the oats, oil and honey together in a bowl. Make sure the oats are coated and
sticking together a bit.
- Add
the nuts and seeds. I usually use a pack of mixed seeds and flaked almonds.
- Lay
the oats on a baking tray, evenly and pop it in the oven.
- Bake
for about 10 minutes, depending on how brown you like your oats. I like it
really brown, so I bake it for a few more minutes but careful not to burn it.
- Give
it a mix and bake it for another 10 minutes.
- Take
it out the oven and let it cool. Add your dried fruit pieces.
- Enjoy!
Great for breakfast, snack or dessert.
To make the fruit parfait dessert: I crushed some berries with the back of a fork, layer it in a dessert bowl or cup with Greek yoghurt (I used Total Greek), and top with the granola. Simple yet scrumptious!
VARIATIONS:
- You could add, walnuts, cashew, pine nuts. – Add honey to the yoghurt for a
sweeter taste.
