Anytime I make homemade granola, I always start with Bob’s Red Mill gluten free rolled oats! Always. They are the base to all of my granola recipes and enjoyed on a daily basis in our house. Thick, hearty, old fashioned rolled oats. Certified gluten free too, just the way they should be. Last year, I was able to visit the very place where Bob’s Red Mill packages and mixes all of their gluten free products. They go through a vigorous process, where every single batch is tested. All to make sure that gluten free label is 100% accurate. Feels so good to know they take such great care so we don’t have to worry. Thanks, Bob!
Let’s move on to these little breakfast parfaits. Aren’t they so pretty? It starts with a layer of crunchy almond granola, made with my favorite oats. You all know I’m a firm believer in homemade granola. Yep. The granola is then topped with dairy free blueberry yogurt. To make the yogurt extra special, I actually started out with So Delicious unsweetened vanilla coconut milk yogurt and stirred in homemade blueberry sauce and lemon zest. Don’t pass on the lemon zest. It’s a must!
The final toppings can’t be skipped either. Another layer of that granola, a drizzle of the blueberry sauce, a handful of fresh blueberries and your masterpiece is complete. You can make this beautiful breakfast treat the night before so it’s ready to be devoured in the morning. Ready, set, dig right in!
