Yogurt and Granola Parfaits are creamy, crunchy, and sweet treats you can enjoy for breakfast or a snack. Layered with yogurt, fresh fruit, and crunchy granola, they look pretty and taste delicious.
I like making these on busy mornings—they come together quickly and make me feel like I’m having a fancy treat. Plus, they’re fun to customize with your favorite fruits!
If you want them extra fresh, add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of nuts on top. I always prepare them in clear glasses so I can see all the colorful layers—so pretty!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek yogurt: I love using plain Greek yogurt for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. For a sweeter touch, add a bit of honey or vanilla. If you’re dairy-free, coconut or almond yogurt works well as a substitute.
Granola: Crispy granola adds crunch and sweetness. Choose your favorite flavor or make your own with oats, nuts, and honey. For a gluten-free option, look for certified gluten-free granola brands.
Fresh fruit: Juicy berries, sliced bananas, or chopped peaches brighten the parfait. You can swap in any seasonal fruit or dried fruit for variety. Keep it fresh for the best flavor and texture.
How do I layer my parfait evenly without making a mess?
Start with a spoonful of yogurt at the bottom of your glass to prevent flooding. Alternate layers—yogurt, granola, fruit—using a spoon to gently add each. Keep your spoon level and steady to stack neatly without spilling.
