Description
Creamy, fruit-forward parfaits layered in mason jars for a quick, gluten-free breakfast or snack—balanced, customizable, and ready in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free yogurt (Greek, coconut, or almond-based)
- 2 cups fresh fruit (mixed berries, mango, or banana slices)
- 1 cup certified gluten-free granola or chopped nuts
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 4 wide-mouth 16 oz mason jars with lids
Instructions
- Prepare jars: Set out four clean, dry 16 oz mason jars.
- Layer 1 – Yogurt: Spoon about 1/3 cup yogurt into the bottom of each jar.
- Layer 2 – Fruit: Add a layer of fresh fruit; keep very soft fruits (like banana) away from the bottom.
- Layer 3 – Yogurt: Add another 1/3 cup yogurt to seal in moisture and keep textures balanced.
- Layer 4 – Toppings: Sprinkle gluten-free granola or nuts on top; add chia seeds and a pinch of cinnamon if using.
- Sweeten: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup to taste (optional).
- Seal & store: Close lids tightly and refrigerate up to 3–4 days. For maximum crunch, add granola right before eating.
- Serve: Enjoy straight from the jar or give it a quick stir to combine layers.
Notes
To keep granola crisp, store it separately and add just before serving. For dairy-free, use coconut or almond yogurt. Swap fruits seasonally and adjust sweetness with ripe fruit instead of syrup if preferred.
