How the cooking goes

Make the granola

1. Heat your oven to 350° F.
2. Evenly spread the Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oats and Quaker Oats Steel Cut Oats on a rimmed sheet pan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until they are deep gold, stirring once. Pour into a large bowl.
3. While your oats toast, bring walnut oil, maple syrup and vanilla just to a boil in a small saucepot.
4. To your oats add dry milk powder, wheat germ, coconut palm sugar, pumpkin seeds and pecans; toss to mix thoroughly. Pour your heated maple syrup mixture over the oat mixture and toss gently to coat evenly. You used two wooden spoons.
5. Pour the oat mixture back onto your rimmed sheet pan and spread out evenly. Bake 12-15 minutes or until the mixture is deep gold and no longer sticky. (It will still feel wet.) Remove the sheet from the oven and place on a wire rack.
6. Sprinkle the cherries and raisins evenly over the surface of the granola; toss gently to distribute. Allow to cool until it is no longer warm before touching (or eating).

Assemble the Parfaits

1. In a medium bowl mix together yogurt, pumpkin, cinnamon and ginger.
2. In tall parfait glasses or any other drinking glass, layer the granola with the yogurt, using about 1 cup of yogurt for each parfait.
