Method 4 steps
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
On a large baking sheet, spread steel-cut oats, large flake oats, almonds, wheat germ and flaxseed meal in single layer. Bake in preheated oven, stirring a couple of times, for about 15 minutes or until light golden. Scrape into a bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, vanilla and oil. Pour over oat mixture and stir to coat evenly. Spread mixture onto baking sheet and return to oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring at least twice. Let cool completely.
When ready to serve, divide half the granola among 10 small glasses or parfait dishes. Divide yogurt among glasses and sprinkle with some fruit. Top with remaining granola and fruit and enjoy. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to a day.
