A quick, filling, and low-sugar breakfast parfait combining creamy Greek yogurt, crunchy homemade granola, and fresh fruit for a nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred, 2% works too)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup raw almonds, roughly chopped (or walnuts)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
  • ½ cup sliced banana (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil and maple syrup or honey until blended.
  4. Pour the oil and syrup mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to coat all oats and nuts evenly.
  5. Spread granola evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Watch closely after 15 minutes to prevent burning. Granola should be fragrant and golden brown when done.
  7. Cool granola completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up further as it cools.
  8. In a medium bowl, stir Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup to taste.
  9. In glasses or jars, layer ½ cup yogurt, 2-3 tbsp granola, and fresh berries or sliced banana. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with fruit on top.
  10. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Granola will soften over time but remains delicious.

Notes

Bake granola at low temperature (325°F) to avoid burning and ensure crunchiness. Stir granola halfway through baking for even toasting. Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Layer parfait just before serving to keep granola crunchy. Reheat granola briefly if it softens.
