Granola Parfaits served at the Parish House inn, an Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area bed and breakfast

This is a delicious granola that I usualy prepare without the dried fruit, and use it as a topping for a fruit parfait for breakfast. Just layer fresh berries or other fruit, yogurt and top with 1/2 cup of the granola mixture. Choose a flavor of yogurt that compliments the fruit. I usually use vanilla. Enjoy!
