Ingredients
Scale
- 24 oz. plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
Mixed Berry Compote:
- 1 pint of fresh raspberries
- 1 pint of fresh blackberries
- 1 pint of fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- dash of cinnamon
- dash of salt
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot
Almond Granola:
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free oats
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper or a baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, add gluten free oats, almonds, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to combine the dry ingredients. Next add in maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Using a spatula stir to coat all the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
- Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, using a spatula turn the granola. (or just move it around)
- Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- In the meantime, to a small saucepan add raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, water, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Turn heat to medium low and let the berries cook down for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may want to press down and crush a couple of the berries, that is fine as well.
- After the 5 minutes, add arrowroot to the berry compote. Stir it in until it is dissolved. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Assemble parfaits: add 2-3 tablespoons of berry mixture to the bottom of a jar, top with 4 oz. of yogurt and sprinkle with granola.
- Serve and devour!
- HINT: these can be premade and stored in the refrigerator for later use. Just don’t add the granola because it will get soggy.
