#SavorEverySip #StarbucksAtHome apple autumn breakfast brunch coffee Fall Fall Recipes flavors granola homemade parfait recipe Starbucks Yogurt

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola

This blog post was sponsored by Starbucks® but the opinions are completely my own based on my experience. These Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola were inspired by Starbucks® Fall Flavors, now available at Walmart.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenDuring the Fall season so many changes can occur that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with daily rituals. Typically in the summer months the kids are home with me throughout the day and the summer season is slow for work so Mr. Harris is home a lot more too. However, once the Fall season rolls around school is back in session, work has picked up, kids are being shuffled to practice, and games and all of their activities and we’re onto a whole new routine again. It seems that just when I’ve begun to get comfortable with our routines, they change again! There’s one part of my daily routine that is always constant though, and that is my morning coffee ritual. I’m not the type that likes to head to a busy café for my cup of joe, I prefer to savor the morning hours alone with my favorite coffee all to myself. Maybe it’s because I’m an only child and used to being alone, but that’s just how I gather my thoughts and get my days started. This is probably one of the only routines of mine that stays constant, no matter how much our family or work schedules change, which makes it even more meaningful that Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Caffé Latte K-Cup® pods are now available for purchase at Walmart to brew at home! The PSL is basically synonymous with the Autumn season, and now it can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. WINNING!

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Fall Blend #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenNot only are the Pumpkin Spice Caffé Latte K-Cup® pods a more convenient way to enjoy your seasonal favorite flavor, the two step brewing process includes real pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg flavors combined with dairy and it’s specially crafted to complement the smooth balanced Caffé Blend made from 100% arabica coffee. Every cup is velvety rich in taste and deliciously familiar. I even took the short quiz at walmart.com/starbucksfall to find my personalized flavor recommendations based on my tastes, and it described me as having a smooth and balanced nature -which is the perfect match for the Pumpkin Spice Latte!

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Fall Blend #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenThe two step blending process includes a packed of Sweetened Dairy Blend with Pumpkin Spice flavors (including real pumpkin. Just add the packet to your mug, pop the K-Cup Pod into your Keurig, and brew up a delicious Pumpkin Spice Caffé Latte. Easy peasy! You’re on your way to a delicious tasting cup of coffee in practically no time flat.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Fall Blend #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenStarbucks also has a Fall Blend available in a roast and ground package as well as K-cup pods that’s hearty with spice notes. It combines coffees from all three growing regions in a full-bodied blend. With warm and fresh spice notes from Sumatran beans, citrusy brightness stemming from coffees from Kenya and subtle nuttiness and balance from beans from Peru this is a cup of coffee that hearty and refined.

Speaking of delicious coffee, I’ve discovered that to get the maximum effect of a great tasting cup of coffee there’s actually a process to developing your tasting skills. Don’t worry, it doesn’t take long but it will definitely help you savor every sip!

  1. Smell the coffee. How the coffee smells really enhances the entire tasting experience. Your mouth can only distinguish salty, sweet, bitter or sour, but your nose detects thousands of smells!
  2. Slurp the coffee. I know this goes against everything I’ve taught my kids about table manners, but to really get all of those subtle flavors and aromas to reach all of the tasting zones in your mouth you have to slurp it a bit so the coffee can spray across your palate.
  3. Locate the coffee. Sure, it’s in your mouth but take a moment to savor how it feels. The weight of the coffee and where you’re experiencing the different flavors.
  4. Describe the coffee. Now that you’ve smelled it, tasted it and located it you should be able to adequately describe your coffee tasting experience. How would you describe the aroma, flavor and how the coffee feels in your mouth. Do you taste any other food flavors (like pumpkin?) or aromas that you can compare the coffee to?

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Fall Blend #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenNow that you’re a pro with your tasting skills, let’s take it a step further. There are also four tasting characteristics when sipping on your favorite coffee flavors. They are aroma (the way a coffee smells), acidity (the tanginess or tartness of the coffee – described as low, medium or high), body (the weight of the coffee on your tongue) and flavor (the way a coffee tastes).

But you don’t have to be a pro to know you just like how it tastes and smells. Certain coffee flavors and scents really do remind me of certain seasons that got me inspired while I was stocking my Keurig drawer full of Starbucks Fall products.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Fall Blend #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI’m really a simple breakfast person, especially during the week when I’m savoring my cup of coffee alone. I just want to make something easy that I can enjoy with my coffee, so I was inspired to make a batch of Homemade Fall Flavors Granola. When I was younger I actually preferred a good bowl of granola with milk instead of the sugary cereals other kids liked, and I also love to serve granola over a simple low-fat yogurt with fruit. This granola is inspired by the aromas and flavors of the Starbucks Fall Blend and the Pumpkin Spice Caffé Latte.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenMaking homemade granola is so easy and much tastier than many store bought granola. It tastes fresher and you can really customize the flavors however you please. For this batch I used plenty of Fall flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and all-spice along with honey-roasted sunflower seeds, golden raisins and dry bananas. Feel free to substitute your own favorite flavors to really customize a granola mix that you can enjoy. I’ve enjoyed snacking on this granola as is for the past few days, but it’s amazing over vanilla bean low-fat yogurt with some stove-top caramelized apples that I fixed up for a fall flavored parfait that’s perfectly suited to pair with the Starbucks Fall Blend or the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' Kitchen

Ingredients for Homemade Fall Flavors Granola:

  • 3 cups rolled oats (not quick oats)
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon all-spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup honey roasted sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup crushed dry bananas

Ingredients for Stove-top Caramelized Apples:

  • 2 honey-crisp apples, peeled, cored and diced
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter

Ingredients for Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola:

  • low-fat vanilla yogurt
  • stove-top caramelized apples (recipe above)
  • Fall flavors granola (recipe above)

Directions:

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenPreheat the oven to 300 degrees. To make the granola, start by mixing the rolled oats with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, all-spice and cloves in a medium bowl. Stir to make sure all the spices are combined well, then add the honey roasted sunflower seeds.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenIn a smaller bowl, combine the honey, oil and vanilla extract. Whisk well until the mixture looks smooth and whipped, it will thicken a bit.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenPour the honey mixture over the oats mixture, and make sure all of the oats are completely covered with the honey coating. Spread the oats out onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

While the oats are cooking, pour the golden raisins into a small bowl, then let them soak for about 20 minutes in the apple juice. This will plump up the raisins a bit and add great texture to the granola. Once they have soaked thoroughly, squeeze out any excess moisture with a cheese cloth or paper towel before adding to the granola.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenStir the oats and bake again for another 10 minutes or so. They will be a pretty golden color.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenOnce done, stir in the raisins and bananas, then allow to cool completely.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenWhile the granola is cooling down, prepare the stove-top caramelized apples. Add the diced apples to a bowl with the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well so apples are fully coated. Melt the butter in a skillet with the water, and add the coated apples. Allow them cook on a medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are softened. The apple mixture will thicken as they caramelize, remove from heat and allow to cool once done.

Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola #StarbucksAtHome #SavorEverySip AD | Mama Harris' KitchenAdd your favorite vanilla yogurt to a bowl or glass, then top with the caramelized apples. Top with a bit more yogurt.

    This recipe looks yummy! I think I’ll just make the granola part and see how it tastes without the sugar. Do you think the honey and fruit could make it sweet enough?

    Delicious Fall idea! I can see us all raking leaves and stopping mid-AM for one of these as a metta-treat!
    Thanks. Pictures are beautiful.

    We make our own granola (and muesli) at home as well and we love to spices similar to what you have used. Such a great smell for the kitchen! Looks great.

    Fabulous post!!! I must tell my daughter about the PSL kcups…she’ll flip out if she doesn’t already know about them! And homemade granola is just the best! I don’t know why more people don’t make their own – it’s easy, inexpensive, you can suit your own taste preferences, and it’s so much healthier than store bought!

    My husband and I go through a full pot of coffee every morning, so the K-cups just aren’t economical for us, but I am totally digging on that granola. I make my own, but I’ve never used banana chips! Genius! I know what I’m making this weekend!

  13. Amanda {Striped Sptaula} says

    September 23, 2016 at 4:15 am

    I didn’t know that Starbucks sells the PSL in K-cups! What a fantastic fall treat when you need something warm and comforting at home. I love your granola parfaits also. The dried bananas are a great addition and those caramelized apples sound like the best of fall in one bite! Can’t wait to make!

  14. Mackenzie @ Food Above Gold says

    September 26, 2016 at 2:35 pm

    We’ve never owned a Keurig ourselves, but we just came from staying in a cabin that had one while we were away for our anniversary. It was such a nice treat to have the individual cups, but we used up the entire stockpile that came with the cabin in the two nights we were there. lol. I bet it’s so nice to have that authentic Starbucks flavor at home!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
