Description

Crunchy steel-cut oats are a great addition to this whole-grain-packed homemade granola. The recipe makes 4 cups granola. Use half for parfaits and store the remaining in an airtight container. Layer parfait with a mixture of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. Make up to 1 hour ahead of serving.
