Ingredients
  

For the Granola:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 each Thomas Light Multi-Grain English Muffin halved and diced small
  • 3 tablespoons old-fashioned whole-rolled oats not quick-cook or instant
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Parfaits:
  • 4 to 8 ounces yogurt your favorite flavor and type
  • 1 to 2 cups diced fruit (suggestions: 1/2 banana and about 10 strawberries, halved)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Glass cups or bowls
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Granola - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, diced English muffin, oats, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is well-coated.
  2. Step 2: Bake the Granola - Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Yogurt and Fruit - While the granola is cooling, gather your yogurt and diced fruit. If you’re using a flavored yogurt, feel free to pick one that complements your fruit choice.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Parfaits - In your glass cups or bowls, start layering. Begin with a spoonful of yogurt, followed by a layer of diced fruit, and then a layer of the homemade granola. Repeat the layers until the glass is filled, finishing with a sprinkle of granola on top for garnish.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Your Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits are ready to be served! Enjoy immediately, or if you’re prepping for later, cover and refrigerate until needed.

Notes

  • Store granola separately from yogurt and fruit to maintain crunchiness.
  • Use Greek yogurt for added protein or dairy-free options for a vegan twist.
  • Mix in seasonal fruits for variety.
