To make this portable breakfast a snap, prepare the granola in advance and store it in an airtight container. Be sure to keep a close eye on the broiler so the granola doesn't burn. You can also sub pitted fresh cherries or any ripe berry for the raspberries.

Easy and fast to make. Great with yogurt and fresh fruit. My favorite breakfast! You can change up the recipe depending on what you have on hand.

Really flavorful and easy to prepare. I did slightly over-brown it in the last minute so be careful! I only had dry roasted sunflower seeds so I added them as I added the honey mixture. Couldn't find unsweetened coconut at the store so will have to search this out.

This is a delicious recipe - I have quit eating regular boxed ceral and enjoy this instead. It is really good with frozen berries too. Just let them thaw overnight and put them on the parfait in the morning. Don't waste your money buying too sweet granolas...make this instead. It only takes about 15 minutes total. I make a double batch. Be sure to watch it carefully - I almost burnt it in my broiler!

I absolutely love this! It has just the right amount of sweetness and crunch. Best Granola I ever had!
