[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Preparing the oats

  1. Take about 6 tablespoons of oats and put them in a bowl. If you love oats and think that it should be the highlight of your parfait, you can definitely take more.

  2. Pour 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the oats. If you prefer honey, use that but the original recipe does call for maple syrup. This step is optional; if you aren't a fan of any kind of syrup, you don't need to add any.

  4. Heat a nonstick pan at medium level. Cook the oats and maple syrup for about 2 to 3 minutes. This should definitely add more crunch and sweetness to the oats. After it's done cooking, set that aside.

[Edit]Preparing the other ingredients

  1. Check that the bananas are ripe before you start to cut them. It really doesn't matter how you cut up the banana but thin slices are standard.

  2. Choose the yogurt. One of the best parts of making a parfait is that you can get creative with the types of yogurt. A great way to make a parfait healthy is by using Greek yogurt. For this parfait, vanilla flavored yogurt is nice. Other favorites that would be suitable include blueberry and strawberry yogurts, which will complement the banana flavor nicely.

  3. Pick out any additional nuts or toppings. Nuts that go really well with this parfait include walnuts, almonds, and cashews. If you don't like nuts, leave them out.

[Edit]Making up the banana yogurt parfait

  1. Pick out a tall glass or cup. Parfaits are usually layered, which works better when added to a tall glass rather than a bowl.

  2. Start out by putting a big spoon of yogurt into the glass. Flatten it slightly, so that it's easier to layer the things on top.

[Edit]Tips

  • Using a variety of nuts and yogurts could make it more interesting.
  • Greek yogurt tastes amazing and is perfect for yogurts. It is a lot healthier than flavored and sugary yogurts.

[Edit]Warnings

  • Avoid eating the parfait if left for a long time. The oats will become soggy, so they won't add that special crunch.
  • Be careful when cooking the oats. Don't cook them for too long because they might burn.
  • Although the recipe calls for maple syrup, don't use too much. It does contain a lot of sugar, so use it in small quantities.
