    Four yogurt parfaits in small glasses filled with layered yogurt, granola, and fruit.Pin

    Yogurt Parfaits are a great make-ahead breakfast or snack on the go. This recipe includes homemade granola and can be made the night before.

    Put any flavor yogurt in the bottom of the glass, layer with granola, top with fruit you love-even frozen fruit works and drizzle with honey. You can pop lids on these breakfast parfaits, and tuck them into the fridge. In just minutes you have something healthy to eat anytime...

    Ingredients labeled to make yogurt parfaits with a granola recipe on a table.Pin

    Let's Make Granola (Or Buy It!)

    Step 1: Roughly chop the nuts you chose. Sliced almonds work really well, pistachios are the right size too, just rough chop larger nuts like walnuts and pecans.

    Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut oil, vanilla extract, and honey, mix but it won't totally incorporate.

    Step 3: Next add all dry ingredients: chia seeds, cinnamon, brown sugar, pistachios, almonds, pecans, coconut, wheat germ, bran flake cereal, and rolled oats.

    Step 4: Mix all ingredients, place in a single layer on a large baking sheet pan.

    Step 5: Bake 225 degrees for 1 hour. Stir every 15 to 20 minutes while baking.

    Step 6: Remove from oven, stir every 20 minutes until cool. This prevents the granola from forming clumps.

    TIP: Granola keeps well refrigerated in a ziplock bag or sealed in containers for several weeks!

    Assemble Parfaits

    In a small glass or mason jar, layer yogurt, homemade granola, fruit, and drizzle with honey.

    Mason jars are a GREAT container for a portable breakfast. Plus, yogurt in a jar is just fun to eat. I LOVE these new plastic lids for Mason jars, no more rusty lids!

    Assemble the night before and grab on your way out the door. Now you're off to a healthy start to your day. Who wouldn't want a breakfast that looks like this?

    What Does "Parfait" Mean?


    "Parfait" is from the French word that means "perfect." It is typically a cold dessert consisting of layers of ice cream, fruit, syrup, and or whip cream served in a glass that shows the layers.

    More Healthy Breakfast Recipes

    Steamed hard-boiled eggs cook perfectly every time with no green ring. So easy to peel, that the eggshells miraculously slip right off. These are the ultimate in perfectly hard cooked eggs that are made fast to slice and chop beautifully for your recipes. Or simply enjoy for breakfast or snacks.

    For a fresh clean start for breakfast, try these amazing Pink Grapefruit Green Detox Smoothies. For a healthier breakfast, the whole family will love, try my Parmesan Baked Hash Browns. They are not cooked in oil, simply baked to a golden brown. It doesn't get much healthier than this gorgeous green Avocado Toast.

    • 6 perfectly hard boiled eggs with a cracked half of an egg shelf on top.
    • Two glasses of a green smoothie recipe garnished with grapefruit slices and straws.
    • Three golden crispy edged hash browns baked in a muffin tin on cutting board.
    • A close up photo of a slice of avocado toast topped with small heirloom tomatoes and microgreens.

    • Mix all ingredients, place in single layer on a large unlined 10 x 15 sheet baking pan.
    • Bake 225 degrees for 1 hour, and stir every 20 minutes while baking.
    • Remove from oven, stir every 20 minutes until cool. This prevents the granola from forming clumps.

    Parfaits

    • In a small glass or mason jar, layer yogurt, homemade granola, fruit, and drizzle with honey.
    • Put the lid on the mason jar and keep refrigerated.

    Notes

    rolled oats

    Use old-fashioned rolled oats as opposed to quick-cook oats, they have a better texture in your granola. 

    storage

    Homemade granola keeps well in a ziplock bag or sealed container for several weeks!

    nuts

    I love slice almonds, pecans, and pistachios! But other options are sunflower seeds, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, or sesame seeds would all be great.
