Berry parfaits are the perfect quick breakfast or snack, mixing fresh, honey-sweetened fruit with protein-rich Greek yogurt, and topped off with nutty toasted oats. Besides being excellent grab-and-go snacks, berry parfaits can add a pop of color to summer parties, brunches, or baby showers. As the growing season progresses, seasonal offerings like cherries, stone fruit, or melon can be substituted for the berries.

Step 1
To toast the oats, set a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and then toss in the oats. Shaking pan often, toast for 7-10 minutes, or until oats have a nutty fragrance and a golden brown color. Toss with 2 tablespoons honey and a pinch of sea salt.

Step 4
To assemble the parfaits, add 3 tablespoons yogurt to the bottom of each parfait glass or Mason jar. Divide the blackberry mixture between the glasses. Add 2 tablespoons yogurt. Divided raspberry layer between glasses and top with 2 tablespoons yogurt. Divide the strawberry mixture between glasses, reserving 4 slices for parfait tops, add a last dollop of yogurt, and top with reserved strawberry slice and a sprig of mint.

Step 5
Parfaits will keep well covered in the fridge for 2 – 3 days. For best texture, keep oats in a separate container and add just before serving. Feel free to sub in the fresh fruit of your choice—sweeter fruits may need less honey, so taste as you go!
