Not your traditional yogurt and granola parfait...

Ingredients

2 cups Old-fashioned oats

1 cup Wheaties

1 cup Whole almonds

1 cup Pecan halves

1 cup Flaked coconut

1 tablespoon Wheat germ

1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted

1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

1/4 cup Butter or margarine, melted

2 tablespoons Maple syrup

2 tablespoons Honey

1 20 oz Can pineapple tidbits, drained

1 15 oz Can mandarin oranges, drained

1 cup Halved green grapes

2 To 3 medium firm bananas, sliced

1 cup Sliced fresh strawberries

1 32 oz Carton vanilla yogurt

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Combine the butter, syrup and honey; drizzle over oat mixture and stir until well coated. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 in baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack; crumble into pieces.


Combine the fruits in a large bowl. For each parfait, layer 2 tablespoons yogurt, 2 tablespoons of granola and 3 rounded tablespoons fruit in a parfait glass or dessert bowl. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with remaining granola. Serve immediately. Yield: 16 servings
