Beth's Homemade Granola Recipe | ENTERTAINING WITH BETH

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: corn syrup

Maple syrup offers a similar sweetness with less processing.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Seeds can be more affordable and are nut-free.

dried fruit

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: coconut chips

Fresh fruit adds moisture and flavor without added sugar.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Coconut oil enhances flavor and is solid at room temp.

In a big bowl, whisk together 1 egg white, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.

Add 2 cups of old-fashioned oats to the bowl and mix well to coat the oats with the egg mixture.

Add 1 cup of sliced almonds to the mixture and whisk until combined.

Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased rimmed cookie sheet and spread it out into a single layer.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through with a wooden spoon to ensure even browning.

Once baked, remove from the oven and add 1 cup of dried cherries to the warm granola, mixing gently.

Allow the granola to cool, as it will crisp up during this time.

To serve, layer some granola in a fancy glass, followed by a scoop of nonfat Greek yogurt, and then more granola on top.

Top the parfait with fresh fruit, such as strawberries and raspberries for one child, and blackberries and blueberries for the other.
