Sweet Peach Yogurt Parfait (Printable)

Layers of creamy yogurt, fresh peaches, and crunchy granola make this parfait perfect for any time of day.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 2 cups sliced fruit)

→ Yogurt Base

02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

→ Sweetener

03 - 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup

→ Crunch

04 - 1½ cups granola

→ Garnish

05 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Peel, pit, and slice the ripe peaches. Place the slices in a medium bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Toss gently to coat and let stand for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
02 - Spoon 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each parfait glass or serving bowl, spreading it into an even layer.
03 - Add approximately 2 tablespoons of the sweetened peach slices over the yogurt, followed by 2 tablespoons of granola. Press gently to create an even surface.
04 - Repeat the yogurt, peach, and granola layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a generous dollop of yogurt and a final sprinkle of granola on top.
05 - Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup over each parfait. Top with fresh mint leaves if desired.
06 - Serve immediately to preserve the granola's crunch and the fresh texture of the peaches.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes exactly ten minutes and looks like you spent an hour, which is the kind of trick I live for.
  • The contrast of creamy yogurt, sweet peaches, and crunchy granola hits every texture craving at once without any cooking required.
  • You can scale it up for brunch guests or keep it all to yourself without changing a single thing about the method.
02 -
  • The granola will soften the longer it sits, so if you are prepping these for a brunch party, keep the granola in a separate bowl and add it at the last second.
  • I once used canned peaches packed in heavy syrup and the whole thing turned cloyingly sweet, so if you go the canned route, choose peaches packed in juice and drain them well.
03 -
  • Press the peach slices against the inside wall of the glass as you layer so the color shows through beautifully, then fill the center with granola and yogurt for that bakery window effect.
  • Warm the honey for ten seconds in the microwave before drizzling so it flows in thin elegant ribbons rather than clumping in one spot.
