Fruit Parfaits
Serves 1
I like to leave everything layered as written to keep the granola crunchy. But it's very pretty to make alternating layers of yogurt, fruit and granola. You can switch out the granola and fruit to make these parfaits more seasonal: stewed apples and maple granola for the fall, leftover cranberry sauce with vanilla yogurt in December ... Alison Roman has a fairly savory and nutty turmeric granola that makes for a less sweet breakfast pair that with some blueberry jam for a bright treat!
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon jam or 1/4 cup chopped fresh fruit
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup granola
- Flaky salt (optional)
Spoon the yogurt into a mason jar (or something similar).
Top with jam and spread it into a thin layer.
Sprinkle with chia seeds.
Top with granola and a sprinkle of flaky salt
