Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Blueberry and Maple Pecan Granola Parfait

[heart_this] · Aug 12, 2008 · 51 Comments

Blueberry and Maple Pecan Granola Parfait

I had been wanting to try making my own granola for a while but I purposefully held off until the summer. I had seen granola being served with yogurt and fresh berries as a parfait and I wanted to try it like that. Now that the fresh local blueberries were out was the perfect time. I used the maple pecan granola that had survived my snacking for breakfasts last week in the form of parfaits with vanilla yogurt, fresh blueberries and topped it off with some maple syrup. It was amazing! The crunchy granola went really well in the cool and creamy vanilla yogurt with the juicy blueberries were just bursting with flavour. Towards the end of the week I had run out of vanilla yogurt and I decided to try some left over cottages cheese that needed to be used. I was pleasantly surprised that the slightly tangy cottage cheese worked really in this otherwise sweet dish. I would also imagine that vanilla frozen yogurt would also work well.

    Kevin you take such wonderful photographs, great styling, nice and clean, and you have a great eye. If you have any suggestions I would love it. I am a hippie at heart and love granola, especially like this, but I have always used honey with my yogurt. I am now on a quest to make more granola and use maple syrup this time.

    I love that. At home, i make it with plain yogurt and honey, my home made granola and berries. I freeze a bunch of blueberries during summer to have this parfait all year long.
