Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Layer:

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup flaked coconut

1/4 cup chopped nuts (choose between almonds or walnuts)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

For the Blueberry Layer:

2 cups fresh blueberries

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Yogurt Layer:

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for additional sweetness)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crispy Layer:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flaked coconut, and chopped nuts. Add in the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well-coated.

        - Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading it out evenly.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even baking. The mixture should turn golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

            Prepare the Blueberry Layer:

              - In a medium saucepan, place the fresh blueberries and add the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

                - Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, gently stirring until the blueberries begin to burst and release their juices. Once they reach a saucy consistency, remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

                  Assemble the Parfaits:

                    - In clear serving glasses or bowls, create the parfait layers by starting with a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt at the bottom.

                      - Next, add a layer of the blueberry mixture, followed by a layer of the crispy oat mixture.

                        - Continue layering in this order until the glasses are filled, making sure to top off with a final layer of crispy oats for a delightful crunch.

                          Serve:

                            - If desired, garnish each parfait with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finishing touch. Serve immediately and savor your delightful Crispy Blueberry Parfaits!
