Chef's Note
For the best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick oats. You can customize this parfait by using seasonal fruits or adding a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter to the oat mixture for extra protein and creaminess. The toasted nuts and coconut add a wonderful texture contrast to the creamy oats and yogurt.
