Notes
Variations:
For a more decadent parfait, add a layer of chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.
You can use different types of yogurt, like flavored yogurts or even non-dairy options.
Experiment with different types of granola, such as chocolate, cinnamon, or nut-based.
Try adding a layer of lemon or orange zest.
Tips:
To prevent the granola from becoming soggy, assemble the parfaits just before serving or add it just before eating.
Use fresh seasonal berries for the best flavor.
For easier layering, use a spoon with a narrow tip.
Intolerances & Allergies:
To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure the granola is gluten-free.
For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt alternative, like coconut or almond yogurt.
For nut allergies, omit nuts or choose a nut-free granola.
Adjustments:
Adjust the amount of honey to your desired sweetness level.
Use more or less of each layer to your preference.
Add a teaspoon of chia seeds to the yogurt for added thickness and nutrition.
