Strawberry-Banana Granola Parfaits

Strawberries and bananas together are such a classic combo, don’t you think? As we are heading into strawberry season, I have to share this yummy and healthy strawberry banana granola parfait recipe which is a great spring or summer breakfast treat, healthy dessert, or a treat to add to a special brunch!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

6 large dates, pitted
3 T. natural almond butter
3 T. honey
2 T. coconut oil, melted
1 t. real vanilla extract
1 c. rolled oats
½ t. ground cinnamon
¼ t. salt
¼ c. raw almonds, roughly chopped
2 T. sunflower seeds
2 c. plain Greek yogurt
2 large bananas, sliced
1 c. fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions:

1. Pre-heat -oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a bit of overlap on the sides.
   
   
2. In a high-powered blender or a food processor, combine the pitted dates, almond butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
   
   
3. Transfer the date mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the oats, cinnamon, salt, almonds, and sunflower seeds. Mix until well combined and the oats and nuts are nicely coated.
   
   
4. Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until lightly golden brown and toasted on top, approximately 20 minutes.
   
   
5. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Granola will crumble as you remove it from the pan, with some larger chunks.
   
   
6. To serve, alternate layers of Greek yogurt, granola, sliced bananas, and fresh strawberries in 4 parfait dishes or mason jars. Enjoy!
