Blueberry Banana Granola Parfaits

Putting your breakfast together ahead of time is a great way to make more time for yourself in the morning.

Ingredients for Granola

• 1 cup raw almonds, finely chopped
• ⅔ cup raw walnuts, finely chopped
• 1 cup banana bread and muffin mix
• ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• Pinch of fine sea salt
• ¼ cup unsweetened creamy almond butter (or your favorite nut or seed butter)
• ¼ cup raw honey
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil
• ½ cup dried or freeze-dried blueberries
• ½ cup banana chips, roughly chopped

Ingredients for Parfaits

• Fresh bananas, peeled and sliced
• Fresh blueberries, washed and dried
• Plain yogurt of choice

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick pad and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almonds, walnuts, banana bread and muffin mix, coconut, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey, and coconut oil.
4. Add the almond butter mixture to the large mixing bowl and toss with the nut mixture until well-combined.
5. Turn the granola out onto the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Try to make sure the layer is the same thickness throughout, about ¾ inch to 1 inch thick. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp.
6. Cool, then use your fingertips to break up the granola. Sprinkle the dried blueberries and banana chips over the top, and use your fingertips to toss it all together.
7. To assemble the parfaits, layer the fresh bananas, yogurt, granola, and fresh blueberries together in a bowl or Mason jar. Top with a drizzle of raw honey, if you want. Enjoy!
