These vegetarian banana strawberry yogurt parfaits are a powerhouse breakfast or snack, that will keep you full. I like to use greek yogurt for the added protein. The homemade granola recipe really makes this super nutritious and tasty, plus it is only 10 minutes to prep!

Ingredients

6 large dates, pitted

3 T. natural almond butter

3 T. honey

2 T. coconut oil, melted

1 t. real vanilla extract

1 c. rolled oats

½ t. ground cinnamon

¼ t. salt

¼ c. raw almonds, roughly chopped

2 T. sunflower seeds

2 c. plain Greek yogurt

2 large bananas, sliced

1 c. fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

1

Pre-heat -oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a bit of overlap on the sides.

2

In a high-powered blender or a food processor, combine the pitted dates, almond butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3

Transfer the date mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the oats, cinnamon, salt, almonds, and sunflower seeds. Mix until well combined and the oats and nuts are nicely coated.

4

Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until lightly golden brown and toasted on top, approximately 20 minutes.

5

Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Granola will crumble as you remove it from the pan, with some larger chunks.

6

To serve, alternate layers of Greek yogurt, granola, sliced bananas, and fresh strawberries in 4 parfait dishes or mason jars. Enjoy!
