Giant Strawberry and Granola Parfait

By Lorraine

This very large, near perfect strawberry looks extra big cradled in these sweet little hands.
It is about to become part of a yogurt parfait!

my favorite recipe for:

Granola

Alton Brown Show: Good Eats Episode: Oat Cuisine

Ingredients

 

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup cashews (or nuts of choice)
  • 3/4 cup shredded sweet coconut
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.
Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add raisins and mix until evenly distributed.

    I've made Alton's granola before and have given the recipe to many friends…it's awesome! I usually use dried cranberries or blueberries instead of raisins, and almonds/pecans for the nuts. It makes a great hostess or teacher gift when packaged in a pretty jar or bag.

    Oh yum! Do you happen to have an extra spoon?

    I hope you'll stop by and see my video for a French Macaroon video. There are bloopers. 🙂

    I am also hosting a giveaway for a French Basketeer tote.

    That strawberry does look perfect and HUGE! Great idea to use it with the granola – I appreciate you sharing the recipe! I haven't made homemade granola in a while – it is time. Would make a great gift to my son – who no longer lives at home – just a little mothering 🙂
    God Bless,
