Ingredients
-4 c. old fashion oats (not instant oats)-1/2 c. light brown sugar-1/2 tsp. salt-1/2 tsp. cinnamon-1/4 c. canola oil-1/4 c. honey-1 tsp vanilla-1 c. raisins
Directions
-Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
-Combine the oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
-Warm the oil and honey in a saucepan over the stove. Wisk in the vanilla. Pour contents over the oats mixture and mix thoroughly.
-Spread the granola in a deep dish (I used a disposable aluminum roasting pan) and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes, but stir after 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 40 minutes.
-Take the pan out of the oven and let it cool, stirring occassionally. Once it is cool, make sure large chunks are broken apart and mix in the raisins.
-Put yogurt in a bowl and top with 1/4 c. of granola. Dice a strawberry and add to the top of the parfait.
-Place the extra granola in an airtight container or ziplock for storage.

-This recipe makes 5 c. of granola (or 20, 1/4c. servings). The serving sizes are large, so feel free to reduce it if you would like.
