I’ve always enjoyed yogurt with granola on top, but for the past few months, it has almost become an addiction! Every morning, almost without fail, I make myself a little yogurt parfait for breakfast. I’ve always just used store-bought granola, but making the Cherry Almond Granola from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book was so easy–and the results were so delicious–that I think I might have to start making granola from scratch all the time! The almonds and dried cherries are the stars of the show, with the former contributing a warm, nutty crunch and the latter, a bright, fresh pop of flavor. But the thing I like best about this from-scratch granola is that I know exactly what’s in it, and I can easily change it to suit any whim. Different fruits, different nuts, different spices. I can’t wait to try more combinations!
Thanks to Wendy of Pink Stripes for choosing this recipe way back when. You can find the complete recipe on her blog by clicking HERE.
I can totally relate on the granola addiction. I missed the week we made granola and I am thinking I will have to give it a try. Your pictures are wonderful!
I made a tropical granola, which I ate mindlessly and ravenously as I was reading a newspaper, and it disappeared so fast…
No one else in the family likes coconut, so that batch is all mine; it seems the next batch will be cherry almond!
Your yogurt parfait idea is fab.
Beautiful photos!!! I didn’t make this granola but everyone’s comments are making me wish I had.
The granola looks great! I enjoyed this, but made an entire batch and hit the wall on granola for a while.
