Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the canola oil, brown sugar
blend, and sunflower butter until smooth. Set aside. -
Coat a medium saucepan with nonstick cooking spray and
heat over medium-low heat. Add the oats, walnuts, sunflower
seeds, and flaxseed and toast until slightly brown and fragrant,
stirring regularly, about 5 minutes. Remove the toasted oat
mixture from the saucepan and place in a small bowl. -
Add the oil mixture into the saucepan and bring to a boil.
Then quickly turn the heat to low and whisk regularly, until the
mixture has slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove the
saucepan from the heat and then add the toasted oat mixture.
Stir to evenly coat. -
Spread the oat mixture in a single layer on the prepared
baking sheet and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Wipe the
saucepan clean with a paper towel. -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, lemon juice,
vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the apples and toss to
evenly coat. -
In the same saucepan, heat the butter over a medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the apple mixture and cook until
the apples have slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to
slightly cool. -
While the apples are cooking, mix the yogurt and lemon zest
together in a small bowl. In each of 4 parfait glasses, layer 1/4 cup
of the yogurt, 1/3 cup of the apple mixture, another 1/4 cup of
yogurt, and top with 1/4 cup of the granola.* -
*Chef’s note: The parfaits can be made ahead of time and stored
in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the granola separately
and add just before eating.
