Ingredients

Blueberry Compote

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 Tbsp water

Parfait Assembly

  • 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 2/3 cups low fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup cinnamon granola (store-bought or homemade, broken up into smaller clusters)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  2. Continue cooking and stirring until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens into a compote, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Aim to have about 1 cup of compote.
  3. Pour the blueberry compote into a bowl and refrigerate until completely cooled. Keep the compote chilled until ready to assemble the parfaits to maintain freshness.
  4. Using four 12-ounce cups, layer the ingredients starting with 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt, followed by 2 tablespoons of blueberry compote, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon granola, and 1 tablespoon of fresh blueberries.
  5. Repeat the layering process one more time in each cup to build a double-layered parfait. Serve immediately to keep the granola crunchy.

Notes

  • For best texture, wait to assemble the parfaits just before serving to prevent the granola from becoming soggy.
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the blueberry compote by varying the sugar amount to your taste preference.
  • Homemade cinnamon granola adds a flavorful crunch but store-bought versions work well too.
  • Use low fat Greek yogurt for a creamy yet lighter parfait.
  • These parfaits can be prepared ahead of time by chilling the compote and fresh blueberries separately, then assembling just before serving.
