Description
A quick and delicious Blackberry Yogurt Parfait featuring creamy Greek yogurt layered with sweet blackberry preserves, fresh mixed berries, and crunchy granola, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Yogurt
- 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
Fruits & Preserves
- 4 tablespoons seedless blackberry preserves
- ½ cup mixed blueberries and blackberries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
Toppings
- 4 tablespoons granola
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
Instructions
- Start with Yogurt: Spoon ¼ cup of Greek yogurt into each of the four serving jars or glasses to create the base layer for your parfait.
- Add Blackberry Preserves: Top the yogurt in each jar with 1 tablespoon of seedless blackberry preserves, adding a sweet and fruity layer.
- Layer Remaining Yogurt: Evenly distribute the remaining yogurt on top of the preserves in each jar, creating a creamy middle layer.
- Top with Berries and Granola: Add the mixed blueberries and blackberries on top of the yogurt, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granola over the berries in each jar for added crunch. If desired, drizzle with ½ teaspoon of honey per parfait for extra sweetness.
- Serve or Store: Serve the parfaits immediately for maximum freshness and texture or cover and refrigerate overnight to enjoy later as a convenient, healthy breakfast option.
Notes
- Use plain yogurt to keep sugar content lower, or vanilla yogurt for extra sweetness.
- The parfaits can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the fridge.
- Granola adds crunch but can soften if stored overnight; add just before serving if preferred crunchy texture.
- Frozen berries should be thawed and drained to prevent sogginess.
- Honey is optional and can be adjusted to taste or omitted for less sugar.
