About this recipe

A classic, no-cook breakfast or snack that's as beautiful as it is delicious. Layers of creamy Greek yogurt, crunchy homemade honey-oat granola, and fresh seasonal fruit come together in minutes for a wholesome, satisfying treat. Perfectly balanced between sweet, tangy, and crunchy — this is the kind of reliable recipe you'll come back to every week.

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to ![325°F]. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped raw almonds, and raw pumpkin seeds (if using). Stir to mix evenly.
3
In a small mixing bowl or measuring cups, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and fine salt until combined.
4
Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir well with a spatula until every oat and nut is evenly coated.
5
Spread the granola in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Press it down lightly with the spatula — this helps form clusters.
6
Bake for 20–25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully in the last 5 minutes — it can go from golden to burnt quickly. The granola will still feel soft when hot; it crisps up as it cools.
7
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet — at least 15 minutes. Do not stir it while it cools so the clusters form. Once cool, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins if using.
8
In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
9
Prepare your fruit: hull and slice the strawberries, rinse the blueberries, and slice the banana if using.
10
To build each parfait, start with a spoonful of yogurt (about 3–4 tablespoons) in the bottom of a glass or bowl.
11
Add a layer of mixed fresh fruit, then a generous handful of granola. Repeat the layers — yogurt, fruit, granola — one more time.
12
Finish with a final drizzle of honey over the top. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving (the granola will soften slightly).
