Sweet Peach Yogurt Parfait (Printable)
Layers of creamy yogurt, sweet peaches, and crunchy granola make this refreshing parfait ideal for breakfast or dessert.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 2 cups drained canned peaches, sliced)
→ Yogurt
02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)
→ Sweetener
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
→ Crunch
04 - 1½ cups granola
→ Garnish
05 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, toss the peach slices with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
02 - Spoon 2 tablespoons of yogurt into the bottom of each serving glass or bowl.
03 - Add a layer of sweetened peaches (about 2 tablespoons), followed by a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons) over the yogurt.
04 - Repeat the yogurt, peach, and granola layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of granola on top.
05 - Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup over the top layer and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
06 - Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Zero cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool even on the hottest summer mornings.
- The contrast of creamy yogurt, burst in your mouth peach juices, and crunchy granola is honestly addictive.
- It doubles effortlessly as a light dessert after dinner or a satisfying breakfast that does not weigh you down.
02 -
- Assemble these no more than fifteen minutes before serving, or the granola will soften into soggy disappointment and you will wonder where things went wrong.
- If using canned peaches, pat them dry with a paper towel first so they do not water down your yogurt layers.
03 -
- Warm the honey slightly in the microwave for ten seconds so it drizzles in thin, elegant threads rather than clumping in one spot.
- Chopped toasted almonds or pecans scattered between layers adds a crunch that lasts longer than granola alone.
