Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces vanilla wafers crushed into small pieces
  • 1 6-ounce container vanilla Greek-style yogurt creamy and rich
  • ½ cup granola cereal for added texture and flavor
  • 1 large banana sliced fresh
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Equipment

  • Bowls or cups
  • Spoon
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Crush the vanilla wafers in a bowl until they resemble coarse crumbs. Slice your banana into thin rounds.
  2. Begin building your parfait by adding a generous layer of vanilla Greek-style yogurt to the bottom of your bowl or cup. Use about half of the yogurt for the first layer.
  3. Next, place a layer of banana slices over the yogurt. Aim for an even distribution to ensure every bite has some banana goodness.
  4. Sprinkle a layer of granola over the bananas. This will add a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creaminess of the yogurt and softness of the bananas.
  5. Now, add a layer of the crushed vanilla wafers. This will give your parfait that classic banana pudding flavor and texture.
  6. Repeat the layers, starting with the remaining yogurt, followed by more banana slices, granola, and crushed wafers. You can create as many layers as your cup will hold, but aim for at least two or three.
  7. If desired, finish with a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra touch of indulgence. You can also sprinkle a few extra crushed wafers or granola for garnish.

Notes

  • Store the parfaits in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and ensure your granola is dairy-free.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fruits or yogurt flavors to customize your parfaits!
