Ingredients
Granola
- 2 cup Oat rolled
- 1 cup Walnut
- 1 cup Pistachio
- 1/2 cup Coconut shredded
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil virgin
- 1 cup Carrot grated
- 1/4 cup Melon Seed
- 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Ginger ground
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg ground
- Pinch Clove ground
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature ensures the granola bakes evenly and becomes perfectly golden brown.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, walnuts, pistachios, shredded coconut, melon seeds, grated carrot, maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Toss the granola ingredients until they are well coated with the wet ingredients. This ensures even baking and flavor distribution.
- Spread the granola mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Stirring ensures the granola browns evenly and creates a satisfyingly crunchy texture.
- Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely to room temperature. This allows the granola to crisp up further.
- Once cooled, gently mix in the raisins and dried cherries.
- In individual serving bowls or glasses, layer the granola, Greek yogurt, and fresh cherries. Repeat layers as desired.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
- Store leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunchy granola, spread it thinly on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F/150°C for a longer time, stirring occasionally.
- For a vegan parfait, use coconut or almond milk yogurt and maple syrup or agave.
- Add a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon to the granola, or layer spiced fruit chutney between yogurt and granola for extra flavor.
- Layer parfaits just before serving to maintain granola crunch, or serve components separately for a DIY parfait bar.
Expert Tips
- Toasting the nuts and seeds separately before adding them to the granola mixture enhances their flavor and ensures even browning.
- For a visually appealing parfait, use clear glasses to showcase the layers. Consider adding fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch.
- Customize your parfait with different layers like chia seed pudding, fruit compotes, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Storage Instructions
- Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Yogurt should be refrigerated and is best consumed within a few days.
- It's best to assemble the parfaits right before serving to maintain the granola's crispness. If making ahead, store yogurt and granola separately and combine just before serving.
