Want a quick and easy breakfast? Make a yummy fruit and granola parfait with fresh fruit, crunchy granola and creamy vanilla yogurt!
If you are looking for a delicious breakfast treat, may I suggest making a fruit and granola parfait? It is a quick and easy dish to pull together using vanilla yogurt, fresh fruit (of your choice), and granola.
You can use purchased or homemade granola (with or without raisins) which makes it very convenient, especially on busy mornings!
I’ve been making these simple breakfast parfaits for years and years and often serve them to out of town guests when they stay with us. They are always a big hit!
The recipe I am sharing today will yield ONE fruit and granola parfait, but it is super easy to double or triple the recipe (or change the fruit used) to meet your needs.

Make The Parfait In Layers
If you have a nice decorative serving “glass” or ice cream sundae glass (shown below), I recommend using it because it will look really nice for the presentation.
The fruit and granola parfait looks good when you can look through the clear glass and see the different layers inside. You can always use a pretty bowl, too, if that’s what you have!
Make the first layer by spooning one-third of the low-fat vanilla yogurt into the bottom of the glass. Top that with some of the granola (with or without raisins) to cover the yogurt layer.
Next, add a layer of fresh fruit (your choice of fruit). I use about a third of the amount of fruit for this layer and for the parfait shown below, I used fresh peaches, raspberries and blueberries.
Second Layer
Repeat the layers once again, starting with the vanilla yogurt. Use just enough yogurt to cover the fruit, then continue adding granola, then fruit for the second layer.
Finish creating the fruit and granola parfait by repeating the layers one last time. Yogurt, granola and then fruit. Sprinkle a bit more granola on top and that’s it!
You just made a beautiful fruit and granola parfait to enjoy for breakfast! Grab a spoon and dig in!
Enjoy Other Fruits With Your Parfait!
You can use other fruits when they are in season, because the fruit and granola parfait tastes best when you use fresh fruit (not frozen of thawed).
Fresh peaches are delicious and when using them, I lightly sprinkle each yogurt layer with a small amount of ground cinnamon. It’s yummy!
Strawberries are another option to use for this delicious breakfast (shown below). You can never go wrong with this one because they can be found in most grocery stores year-round.
Enjoy The Fruit And Granola Parfait
Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy the fruit and granola parfait! I love the crunch of the granola, the creaminess of the sweet vanilla yogurt and of course the fresh fruit in every bite.
I really think you are going to enjoy this simple breakfast because it is SIMPLE, QUICK and DELICIOUS!
I hope you have the chance to make a fruit and granola parfait for yourself AND trust you will also make more of them for those you love!
Of course, I hope you will also take this “basic” recipe and make it your own by changing or adding ingredients (nuts, other fruits or flavors of yogurt) to satisfy your personal taste.
Thank you for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.
