COUNTRY INN GRANOLA PARFAIT

This gold-standard granola has always been our family’s favourite, so it’s only natural we share it with our country inn guests and your home too. It’s packed with more than enough whole-grain goodness to start everyone’s day. The granola’s ingredients are flexible too. Maintain the basic volume measures within the nut-and-seed category but feel free to simplify or improvise, substituting your favourite ingredients. We do with every batch. We stick to the formula, but since we make granola almost daily we constantly try different ingredient combinations. This recipe makes a big batch of granola, so you’ll have plenty on hand for several breakfasts. Our tangy homemade yogurt shines in this parfait, but any natural plain full-fat yogurt will give you equally delicious results. The whole-grain granola opping is crunchy, while the fruit preserve on the bottom is an unexpected yet balanced treat

Step 1

Make the Country Inn Granola Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil and lightly oil. Measure the vegetable oil into a small saucepan. Use the same measuring cup for the honey to ease the sticky mess. Add the honey to the oil along with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Whisk over medium heat until the honey smoothly melts into the oil, a minute or two. Toss the oats into a large bowl, pour in the spiced honey, and stir until thoroughly combined. Divide the oat mixture evenly between the prepared baking sheets. Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant, 45 minutes or so. Meanwhile, in the same bowl, toss together the pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and raisins. Carefully scrape the hot granola into the bowl. Toss everything together while the granola is still hot, then let cool. Transfer to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Step 2

Make the Parfait Divide the strawberry citrus stew among 4 wide-mouth 1-cup (250 mL) mason jars. Carefully add a thick layer of yogurt. Top with country inn granola. Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
