A yogurt parfait with granola is a tasty and healthy treat. It layers creamy yogurt with crunchy granola and fresh fruit, making it as pretty as it is delicious.
I like making this for breakfast or a snack. Sometimes I sneak in a few chocolate chips—who can resist?
If you want it extra sweet, drizzle a little honey on top. Easy to prepare and perfect for a quick, yummy boost during the day!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek yogurt: This creamy, tangy yogurt forms the parfait’s base. I love the rich texture, but for a milder taste, use regular plain yogurt. If you’re dairy-free, try coconut or almond yogurt for a similar creaminess.
Granola: Adds crunch and sweetness, balancing the creamy yogurt. Store-bought works great, but you can toast oats with honey or maple syrup at home for a custom touch. For nut allergies, try sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
Fresh berries: Blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries bring brightness and natural sweetness. Use whatever’s in season for the best flavor. Frozen berries are fine—just thaw and drain to avoid excess liquid.
Honey or maple syrup: A drizzle enhances sweetness and flavor. I usually add a little honey; but if you want a vegan option, pure maple syrup works perfectly. Adjust to taste for your preferred sweetness level.
How do I layer my parfait without making a mess?
Start with a few spoonfuls of yogurt at the bottom of your glass or jar. Add a layer of granola, then berries, and repeat. Gently shake or tap the container to settle the layers. Keep layers uniform to avoid overflow when serving.
- Use a spoon to scoop each ingredient carefully, layering gently.
- Don’t overfill your container; leave a little space at the top so toppings don’t spill out.
- Finish with a few berries and a drizzle of honey for a pretty, tasty touch.
