The pie has been eaten.

The Peanut Butter Glass Banana Bread can no longer be produced into french toast for breakfast time. Tragic!

Now that the holiday season are almost over, we’ve got to get our skinny in. Let’s get enthusiastic about oats, nut products, and fruit!

Granola could be the picture of health, right?

Before we put our skinny jeans on, let’s laugh over Xmas stories.

So on Xmas eve, I drank rich red wine with my family and baked a pie in my new horse mystic night-shirt. We sang songs from the Sound of Music and ate a significant amount of apple & pear pie. We’re totally strange and I love it.

Singing music and baking pies in horse night tops… Whatever!

On a significant note: Christmas morning hours got better still when my Grandma gave me a hummingbird pin. She’s super cute. Another spotlight? Making banana loaf of bread into french toast! Love.

My cycling trainer informed me how the the next thing to look forward to is bikini season… I can’t decide if that is fascinating or completely frightening.

Before I understand it I’ll be drinking margaritas, painting my toes pink, and making strawberry shortcake. I need to get summer away from my head for a bit though.

We need to put our healthy trousers on!

The only thing I can suggest is eating butterless breakfasts and forgetting the large movie theatre popcorn.

I made us something to begin our day ideal. It’s got whole grains, fruit, yogurt, and nut products. Fruits and yogurt granola parfaits!

Maple syrup and apple sauce make this granola sweet without adding extra glucose. Pecans and almonds keep it crunchy and nutty.

We also added a bit of coconut on top which became a toasted golden dark brown when baked. Mouth watering.

Granola party!

McDonald’s fruit and yogurt parfait offers nothing at all on these. Make sure you say goodbye to sugars overloaded cereal from your grocery store.

This granola is skinny!

Make it your have. Add toppings of your decision like pumpkin seed products, white chocolates, and dried out blueberries or apples.

Pile it right into a cup and layer with greek yogurt and fruits. Absolutely healthy.

3 1/2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

bananas or other fresh fruit of choice

To make granola:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Range a cooking sheet with parchment paper.

In a big bowl, mix together oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sodium. Add cranberries, raisins, pecans and almonds to bowl. Stir to mix.

In a moderate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin and apple sauce until well combined.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until equally coated. Spread granola in a thin layer over baking sheet. Sprinkle coconut at the top.

To make parfaits:

Cut 1 banana and set aside. Place 1/2 glass of greek yogurt in glass. Best yogurt with 1/4 cup of granola. Put in a handful of banana slices. Place another 1/4 cup granola together with bananas. Put in a tablespoon or two of yogurt together with granola. Sprinkle a bit more granola on top and add even more bananas. Drizzle honey on top if desired.

Repeat for every parfait you wish to make.

Shop granola in airtight box.

Enjoy your brand-new favorite breakfast!
