What kind of granola is in the Mcdonald's fruit n yogurt parfait?
I love the granola that is in the Mcdonalds fruit n yogurt parfait, but I cannot find it in the stores...does mcdonalds make it exclusively?
Answers:
McGranola of course!
I don't know the brand - but they sell it in health food stores. Its granola w/o additives.
I'm sorry I can't say what McDonald's uses but here is an idea....make your own granola (you can omit the fruit if you like but I think it's good):
INGREDIENTS
5 cups rolled oats
1 cup blanched slivered almonds
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup wheat germ
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cups honey
1 cup raisins
1 cup dried cranberries
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds. In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey. Cook and stir until blended. You could also do this in a large measuring cup in the microwave, heating for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour over the oat mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries. Let stand until cooled, and stir again to break up any large clusters.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, but I guarantee it won't be around that long!
Now, try this recipe with your homemade granola:
McDonald's? Yogurt Parfait
This one's super easy to make, plus it's low fat and delicious.
The yogurt in the original is very sweet and creamy, like Yoplait.
So that's the brand that you should use, although any brand of
vanilla yogurt will work fine. If you use Yoplait, you'll need two
6-ounce containers of the stuff per serving. For the granola,
just look for one that contains mostly oats. It should be crunchy
and sweet (such as "maple" flavor) and can also include puffed
rice bits. You can even make these a day or two ahead of time.
Keep them covered in the fridge, and hold off on the granola
topping until you serve 'em up or it'll get mighty soggy.
4 cups vanilla-flavored low-fat yogurt (or 8 6-ounce containers
of Yoplait)
2 10-ounce boxes sliced strawberries with sugar added, thawed
1/3 cup frozen blueberries, thawed
1/2 cup crunchy, sweet granola
1. Pour 1/2 cup of yogurt into a parfait cup or tall glass.
2. Add 1/2 cup of strawberries into the glass on top of the yogurt.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of blueberries to the glass.
4. Pour 1/2 cup of yogurt over the fruit.
5. Sprinkle granola over the top and serve. Repeat for remaining 3 servings.
Makes 4 servings.
I am sure they do especially since their logo is printed on it,
Next time ask the manager they used to print the health statistics on the back the paper tray liner.
But for sure you will get recipes for many.
