Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup raspberries, gently rinsed
  • 1 cup blackberries (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Granola Crunch (about 25-30 minutes): Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, pecans, chia seeds, cinnamon, and sea salt. Pour in melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to avoid burning. The granola should be golden and fragrant but not too dark. Remove and let cool completely; it will cri…
  2. Prepare the Yogurt Base (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Set aside in the fridge.
  3. Prep the Berries (5-10 minutes): Rinse berries gently under cool water. Slice the strawberries and drain any excess moisture from the berries using a paper towel if needed to avoid watery parfaits.
  4. Assemble the Parfait Cups (10 minutes): In each serving cup, start with 2 tablespoons (about 30g) of the yogurt mixture. Add a layer of mixed berries (about 2 tablespoons). Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of granola on top. Repeat layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a sprinkle of granola for that irresistible crunch on top.
  5. Serve immediately or chill: For best texture, enjoy right away. If you prepare ahead, keep the granola separate and add just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free diet. For dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt and replace honey with agave syrup. Keep granola separate until serving to maintain crunch. Press layers gently to stabilize parfait. Watch granola closely while baking to avoid burning.
