About Granola Yogurt Parfait

Granola is one of the healthiest and easiest breakfast options I’ve come to love—perfectly paired with silky smooth Greek yogurt and your favorite fruits like bananas, strawberries, or blueberries for a burst of flavor. The granola itself is a delightful mix of rolled oats, assorted nuts, and honey or sweeteners, baked until crisp and golden brown. You can easily customize it with any dry fruits like pecans, pine nuts, walnuts, raisins, or dates to make it uniquely yours.
This versatile treat isn’t just for breakfast; granola works wonderfully as an energizing snack throughout the day or even shaped into bars for on-the-go convenience, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Recently, I had the pleasure of using Coombs Grade A Dark Amber Maple Syrup from GoIndiaOrganic, which added a rich, robust sweetness to my granola parfait. Maple syrup, especially the darker grades, brings a deep, complex flavor that elevates baked recipes and makes this parfait truly special.

  • Divide the toasted granola among serving bowls, glasses or even jar like the way I did.Pour the Greek yogurt over it and place some more granola on top along with some fresh cherries. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy this homemade granola immediately, or store in a sealed container and store in a cool place for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For an extra crunchy granola layer, spread your granola onto a baking sheet in a thin, even layer and bake at a slightly lower temperature (around 300°F/150°C) for a longer time, stirring once or twice—this helps achieve uniform golden crispness without burning the nuts or coconut.
  • If you prefer a vegan parfait, swap Greek yogurt for coconut or almond milk yogurt, and use maple syrup or agave as the sweetener in your granola.
  • To add a subtly spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of ground cardamom or cinnamon into your granola mixture before baking, or layer with a spoonful of spiced fruit chutney between yogurt and granola for a flavor surprise.
  • Layer your parfait just before serving to keep the granola crunchy, or serve components separately for a DIY parfait bar—this is especially fun for gatherings or meal prepping individual portions.
