Doesn't a strawberry yogurt parfait sound good?


I have been making my own granola for years and I have come up with a pretty good recipe for a low fat version. To make a parfait: layer sliced strawberries, vanilla yogurt and granola. Simple!

Healthy Granola

4 1/2 cups regular oats
1 tea. ground cinnamon
1/4 tea. salt
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup water
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine oats, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
Combine honey, molasses and water in a microwave bowl. Heat on high in microwave until hot, 1- 1 1/2 minutes. Stir well and pour over oat mixture. Stir well to evenly coat.
Spray jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Spoon mixture onto pan, spreading evenly.
Bake at 325 for 40 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
Yield: 4 1/2 cups

Enjoy!
Diane
