Ingredients

For the Blueberry Compote

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for a thicker compote)
• 1 tbsp water

For the Parfait

• 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
• 1 cup granola
• ½ cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tbsp honey (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and water.
2. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the blueberries burst and become syrupy.
3. If you’d like a thicker compote, stir the cornstarch into a teaspoon of water and mix it into the berries. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat and let cool.
4. Spoon a layer of granola into the bottom of a serving glass or jar.
5. Add a generous layer of Greek yogurt.
6. Spoon some blueberry compote over the yogurt.
7. Repeat the layers with more granola, yogurt, and blueberry compote.
8. Top with fresh blueberries and drizzle with honey if desired.
9. Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Tips

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
• Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
• Swap blueberries with strawberries, raspberries, or mixed berries.
• Add chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans for extra crunch.
• If preparing ahead, keep the granola separate until serving to maintain its crispness.
