Chef's Note
For the best texture, allow the granola to cool completely before breaking it into clusters. You can customize this parfait by using seasonal fruits or adding a touch of lemon zest to the yogurt for brightness. For a time-saving tip, make a double batch of granola on the weekend to enjoy throughout the week in parfaits, as a snack, or sprinkled over smoothie bowls.

Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 cups fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
2 medium banana
5 teaspoons additional honey for drizzling
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of sliced almonds, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm 3 tablespoons of coconut oil until melted. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown. Keep a close eye on it as honey can cause it to brown quickly.
- 7
Remove from the oven and let cool completely without stirring (this will help form clusters). The granola will crisp up as it cools.
- 8
While the granola cools, wash and slice 2 cups of fresh berries and slice 2 medium bananas.
- 9
To assemble each parfait: In a glass or bowl, layer 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, followed by 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled homemade granola, and a handful of mixed fresh fruit.
- 10
Repeat the layers once more, ending with a sprinkle of granola on top.
- 11
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over each parfait just before serving.
- 12
Store any leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
