Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup granola
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, e.g., almonds or walnuts)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Set them aside.
Gather four serving glasses or small jars for assembling the parfaits.
In each glass, add 2 tablespoons of granola to form the bottom layer.
Spoon 1/4 cup of vanilla yogurt evenly over the granola layer.
Add a layer of banana slices on top of the yogurt. Use about 4-5 banana slices per layer.
Repeat the layers in the same order: granola, yogurt, and banana slices, until the glasses are filled or the ingredients are used up. Reserve a few banana slices and granola for garnish.
If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey over the top for added sweetness.
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if using, for added texture.
Garnish each parfait with a reserved banana slice, a sprinkle of granola, and a fresh mint leaf for a polished look.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
