A quick and easy parfait layering creamy Greek yogurt with fresh mixed berries and crunchy granola, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) mixed berries (strawberries sliced, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • Granola (store-bought or homemade, oats, nuts, honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Chopped nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia seeds) for topping
  • Pinch of lemon zest (optional)
  • For homemade granola:
  • 3 cups (270g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (120g) raw nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts), roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup (60g) seeds (pumpkin or sunflower)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, and seeds.
  3. Add honey or maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Sprinkle cinnamon and salt. Stir well to coat.
  4. Spread mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
  5. Rinse mixed berries gently and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries.
  6. In a bowl, stir Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and honey if desired.
  7. In serving glasses, layer spoonfuls of yogurt, granola, and berries. Repeat layers until glass is filled, finishing with berries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds on top.
  8. Optionally, add a pinch of lemon zest or drizzle honey over the top.
  9. Assemble just before serving to keep granola crunchy. Store granola separately if prepping ahead.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Toast granola for enhanced flavor and crunch. Assemble parfait just before serving to keep granola crunchy. Substitute dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup for vegan version. Store granola separately to maintain crispiness.
