Breakfast Parfait (Homemade Granola/Muesli)

 I struggle with breakfast, not because I'm not hungry but because I'm not a hug fan of breakfast foods. During the week I need something fast and this has become my favourite breakfast. The things I like about it most (besides it being delicious) is that it can be varied quite a bit, it can be prepped in advance, in bulk and that I can take it with me. I keep a jar of homemade baked muesli (granola) at work and home so I just have to bring yoghurt and fruit :)

Breakfast Parfait

Ingredients

Dairy-Free Yoghurt of your choice (my favourite is Kite Hill unsweetened plain)

Fruit of choice (I usually have blueberries because I love them and they don't require chopping)

Homemade Muesli ingredients;

1 1/2 Cups GF rolled oats

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds (choose whatever nut you like)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp spices (cinnamon is my go to)

Method

So on the weekend I'll bake my muesli and it usually lasts me the whole week (working week at least!).

Mix all the muesli ingredients together and smooth down onto a baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes at 300F/150C mixing around at the 10 minute mark.

I've left mine in there for longer and no burning so far LOL

Once cooled transfer into an airtight jar/container.

Putting your parfait it just about layering. 

If I'm doing it at home I do the muesli on the bottom (around 1/4 cup followed by 1/2 cup yoghurt and then 1/4 cup fruit on top. 

If I take it to the office I like to keep the muesli separate until I'm going to eat it otherwise the oats get soggy ;)
