Peach Yogurt Parfait with Honey Granola

Creamy yogurt layered with juicy peaches and crunchy honey-kissed granola for a fast, beautiful breakfast that tastes like summer.

Ingredients

• 2 medium ripe peaches, diced (about 2 cups)
• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or regular plain yogurt)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds (or chopped nuts of choice)
• 2 tbsp honey, plus extra to drizzle
• 1 tbsp neutral oil (or melted butter)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional pantry staple)
• 1–2 tbsp water (as needed, for loosening yogurt)

Method

• 1

  Step 1: Toast the honey granola

  Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oats, almonds, cinnamon, and salt. Toast, stirring often, until lightly golden and nutty-smelling, about 3–4 minutes (watch closely—oats can go from golden to scorched fast).

  Step 2: Glaze it with honey

  Drizzle in the oil and 2 tbsp honey. Stir constantly until the oats look evenly coated and slightly deeper golden, about 2–3 minutes. If it starts to clump, that’s good (crunchy clusters!). Tip onto a plate to cool for 2 minutes—this helps it crisp up.

  Step 3: Prep the peaches

  Dice peaches into bite-size pieces. If they’re very firm, toss them with a tiny drizzle of honey and a pinch of salt to coax out sweetness (optional but effective).

  Step 4: Make the yogurt spoonable

  Stir yogurt with vanilla (if using). If very thick, loosen with 1–2 tbsp water until creamy and easily swirlable (think soft-serve texture).

  Step 6: Finish and serve

  Drizzle with a little extra honey right before eating. Serve immediately for maximum crunch.

Tips

• **No skillet time?** Use store-bought granola; just add a pinch of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey to make it feel special.
• **Make-ahead smartly:** Store components separately (granola in an airtight container, peaches covered in the fridge, yogurt chilled). Assemble just before eating to keep the granola crisp.
• **Extra protein:** Use Greek yogurt and add a larger serving (up to 1 1/2 cups per person).
• **What to serve it with:** Coffee or tea, or a hard-boiled egg on the side if you want a more filling breakfast.
