PB&J Breakfast Parfait
This parfait takes a little extra time, but it’s worth it! You might want to make extra of the jam to put on toast another time.
Serves 3
For the jam:
13 oz. mixed berries, frozen
2½ tbsp. chia seeds
1 tbsp. orange juice
2 tbsp. maple syrup
For the parfait:
16 oz. plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp. peanut butter
4 tbsp. granola, to serve
2 strawberries, sliced, to serve
To make the chia jam, combine the berries, chia seeds and orange juice in a bowl and stir well. Cover and leave at room temperature for 1-2 hours or chill in the refrigerator overnight.
When ready to eat, mash the jam until smooth. Stir in the maple syrup and leave for 20-30 minutes. This recipe serves 3 and only uses half the jam, so store the remaining jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
For each parfait, divide the yogurt between 3 serving glasses or bowls. Top with layers of the peanut butter and chia jam. Repeat each layer and chill until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, top with granola and strawberries.
