Vanilla Raspberry Granola

I am not a huge fan of yogurt, but I do love to eat vanilla yogurt with fruit and granola. I think yogurt is so plain on it’s own, but crunch of the granola really makes the whole dish satisfying.

A great way to serve granola at a party is to make yogurt parfaits. You can layer the yogurt, granola and fruit all in a small cup- perfect to grab and eat. Alternatively, you can make a granola bar. Set up some yogurt flavours, different types of granola, nuts and fruits. Then your guests can build their own parfaits.

The options are endless but I have created all my favourite ingredients into this Vanilla Raspberry Granola. Grab your yogurt, because this granola is worth gossiping about!
