Coconut and Banana Yogurt Parfait

January 3, 2021 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

This three-ingredient Coconut and Banana Yogurt Parfait comes together quickly for an easy and delicious tropical-inspired breakfast. 

I love breakfast, but what I don’t love is taking a lot of time to prepare breakfast. Even though I work from home and therefore have plenty of time to spend on the most important meal of the day, I just don’t wanna.

Yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit are breakfast staples for me. When combined and layered they make a flavorful, texturally interesting yogurt parfait that resembles a healthy breakfast. (Pay attention to the amount of sugar in the yogurt and granola you purchase as some brands are sugar bombs).

Coconut and Banana Yogurt Parfait

What is a Yogurt Parfait?

A yogurt parfait is a breakfast dish popular in the United States and Canada made by layering yogurt with granola, nuts, and/or fresh fruits like strawberries or blueberries (see Wikipedia entry Parfait for more information). 

Coconut and Banana Yogurt Parfait

I’ve been crushing hard on bananas lately so I figured why not mash ’em up and use them in place of the berries that are typically used in yogurt parfaits. And when you have 97 different yogurt flavors to choose from, you can get real creative with your parfait pairings. Plain or vanilla are obvious choices, but coconut yogurt makes this a decidedly tropical parfait. Add some banana nut granola to the mix and you’ve got yourself the makings of one delicious breakfast. Simply layer and eat!

Of course, you don’t need to limit yourself to just three ingredients. Mix it up with these suggested additions.

Optional Additions for Coconut and Banana Yogurt Parfait:

  • Coconut flakes
  • Coconut chips
  • Banana chips
  • Crushed pecans or walnuts
  • Slivered almonds
  • Drizzle of honey

The Banana Nut Granola used in this recipe is the Good & Gather brand from Target. Bear Naked’s Banana Nut Granola is also a solid choice. As an Amazon Associate, I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Two ingredients are all you need to make this keto Two ingredients are all you need to make this keto-friendly coconut white hot chocolate. Plus it's dairy-free!  1 can of organic coconut milk
3/4 cup ChocZero white chocolate chips (no sugar added!)  Add all ingredients to a pot over medium heat and whisk until the white chocolate chips have melted and its steaming hot but not boiling.  That's it! Of course you can always add some fun extras like vanilla extract or top with whipped cream :).
Fall means it's hot dish season! Like a good Minne Fall means it's hot dish season! Like a good Minnesotan I love a good Tater Tot Hot Dish, especially one which offers a Tex-Mex twist on the classic. For extra flair, add fresh jalapeno and @caciqueinc crema to the finished dish.
