FAQ
-
Can I prepare this parfait in advance?
It's best to assemble the parfait just before serving to prevent the granola from becoming soggy. If preparing in advance, store the ingredients separately and assemble when ready to eat. -
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes, but plain yogurt allows you to control the sweetness with the honey. Flavored yogurt might make the parfait too sweet. -
What other toppings can I add?
Chia seeds, flax seeds, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of maple syrup would all be delicious additions.
