    Blueberry Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Granola

    Blueberry yogurt parfaits are absolutely perfect for breakfast, dessert, or whenever you please. Simple to prepare and can be made ahead. This recipe uses my homemade granola.

    A glass of blueberry parfait showing layers of yogurt, blueberries, and granola.Breakfast? Dessert? You decide. This is such an easy and delicious treat, it’s good for either. It’s also a great lunch or snack.

    Whenever we travel, I book the earliest flight which means heading to the airport by 4:30am. Breakfast is whatever I baked the day before, as I’m known for bringing food when we travel, or fruit parfaits purchased at some overpriced coffee shop at the airport.

    Although those parfaits are probably the freshest option, they cost a damn fortune. What a racket they have going (hello Starbucks). Why not make them myself? Obviously, they’ll have to be eaten at home since I’m sure the TSA will discourage me from going through security with a bunch of parfaits. Like that’s never happened…

    I prefer to use frozen blueberries for 2 reasons:

    1. I always have them in my freezer
    2. When they start to defrost, their liquid blends beautifully with the maple syrup

    Of course, you can use fresh. You are the master in your kitchen.

Totally worth the five minutes to prepare, assuming my homemade granola is already made (which it has to be). Make the granola please because it’s very simple to make and you’ll love munching on it throughout the day. It won’t last, trust me on this.

    Blueberry Yogurt Parfaits

    Delicious Blueberry Yogurt Parfaits are perfect for breakfast, snack, or whenever you please. Simple to prepare and can be made ahead. This makes 2 servings with each serving using ½ cup of yogurt, berries, and granola. Recipe can be multiplied for desired servings.
    The measurements for berries don’t have to be exact. Use how much you like.
    If you like it on the sweeter side, use the higher amount of maple syrup. I like to finish these with a few berries on top then drizzled with a tiny bit of maple syrup.
    This recipe uses my simple homemade granola. If using my homemade granola, you will need 30 minutes to prepare.
    Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Servings: 2
