by Nancy Richter

Ingredients
3 cups regular oats

3/4 cup sliced unblanched almonds

1/2 cup honey

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon cardamom

1/8 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup dried cranberries

Yields
6 Servings

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread oats and almonds evenly in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Stir well; continue to bake until lightly toasted, about five more minutes. Meanwhile, combine the honey, oil, cinnamon, salt and cardamom in a large bowl. Add the warm toasted oat mixture to the bowl; toss well. Line the previously used baking sheet with parchment paper. Return the mixture to the pan and bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Break the oat mixture into chunks; toss with cranberries. Store tightly covered at room temperature up to two weeks. Layer yogurt, granola, and fresh berries to create a delicious parfait
