Looking for a power-packed, healthy way to start your day? If you are anything like me, you might need something quick, on the go, that will keep you full for the morning. What's could be better than a parfait in a jar?
Let's start with the granola recipe:
Coconut Cashew Granola
from melskitchencafe.com
3 c. old fashion rolled oats
1 c. slivered almonds
1 c. cashews
3/4 c. shredded coconut
1/4 c. dark brown sugar
1/4 c. pure maple syrup
1/4c. vegetable oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1 c. raisins
Preheat oven to 250degrees. In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. COmbine both mixtures by slowly pouring the liquid over the oatmeal mixture and stirring well. Divide in half and pour onto two 11x17" rimmed baking sheets, spreading out into and even layer on each sheet. Cook for 1 hr. until golden. Removed from oven and transfer to large bowl, slightly breaking up clumps. Add raisins and mix until evenly distributed.
1 serving = 1/4 c.

Yum right? I eat the granola plain, or as a cereal as well. But to make the Breakfast Jar, I use a small mason jar and add
1/3 c. Berries
1/3 c. Strawberry yogurt
1/4 c. Granola
Take your jar and enjoy a yummy breakfast on the go!!
