Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 medium oranges
- 1.5 cups granola
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended. Set aside.
Peel the oranges and carefully remove the white pith. Using a sharp knife, segment each orange by cutting between the membranes. Collect the segments in a bowl and reserve any juice that accumulates.
In each serving glass or jar, add 2 tablespoons of granola at the bottom.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture over the granola layer.
Add a few orange segments on top of the yogurt. Drizzle a small amount of reserved orange juice (optional) for added flavor.
Repeat the layers (granola, yogurt, and orange segments) until the glass is full, finishing with a layer of orange segments on top.
Garnish each parfait with a mint leaf, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to keep the granola crunchy.
