Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait with Homemade Granola
This Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait is the ideal breakfast for busy mornings: protein-rich yogurt, antioxidant-packed berries, and crunchy, lightly sweet granola. As a veteran health-food blogger, I’ve balanced flavors and textures so every spoonful feels decadent yet nourishing.
Ingredients
Granola:
2 cups old-fashioned oats
½ cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons chia seeds
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Parfait Layers:
3 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Preparation Steps
Make the granola.
Preheat oven to 325 °F (160 °C). In a bowl, combine oats, almonds, chia seeds, salt, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix until evenly coated.
Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 15–18 minutes, stirring once, until golden. Cool completely—granola crisps as it cools.
Assemble parfaits.
In tall glasses, spoon 2 Tbsp yogurt, followed by a layer of granola, strawberries, and blueberries. Repeat to fill glasses. Drizzle honey over the top if you like extra sweetness.
Serve & store.
Enjoy immediately for maximum crunch. Store leftover granola in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks; yogurt and berries can be prepped in advance and layered just before eating.
Pro Tips
Flavor variations: Swap almonds for pecans or add a pinch of cinnamon to granola.
Dairy-free option: Use coconut or almond-milk yogurt.
Protein boost: Stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder into yogurt.
This parfait delivers creamy, crunchy, and fruity layers in every bite—a breakfast that feels indulgent yet keeps you full until lunch.
