Chef's Note
For the crunchiest granola, make sure to let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container. This parfait is highly customizable - try adding different seasonal fruits or spices to the granola. The protein powder can be adjusted based on your specific protein needs, and using a plant-based one keeps this recipe dairy-free while helping to meet the high protein target.

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
3 tablespoons chia seeds
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free rolled oats, 1/2 cup of coconut flakes, 1/2 cup of sliced almonds, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed, 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
- 5
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
- 6
Remove from the oven and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut flakes. Allow the granola to cool completely (it will crisp up as it cools).
- 7
While the granola is cooling, in a medium bowl, mix 4 cups of coconut yogurt with 3 scoops of plant-based vanilla protein powder until smooth.
- 8
Wash and prepare 3 cups of mixed berries. Slice 2 medium bananas.
- 9
To assemble each parfait: In a serving glass or bowl, layer 1/3 cup of the protein-enhanced coconut yogurt, followed by 1/4 cup of the homemade granola, and a layer of mixed berries and banana slices. Repeat the layers once more.
- 10
Top each parfait with a final sprinkle of granola, a few extra berries, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- 11
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving (keep granola separate until serving if preparing ahead to maintain crunchiness).
