Hello to today’s recipe: Guilt-free Blackberry Oatmeal Parfait, Vanilla Chia Oats, layered between fresh Blackberries, yoghurt and Blackberry Compote.
You heard that right: a Guilt-free Blackberry Oatmeal Parfait because breakfast doesn’t have to be boring brown oats.
Blackberries are one of my favourite fruits and they seem to still be available at Woolies, so I grabbed a punnet to make this breakfast jar.
Making the Parfait
This recipe uses a quick sautée method to cook the blackberries and you can easily double this recipe if you want to make a bigger batch, and save half to put over your morning yoghurt.
Once that’s done, we move onto the oats, which are flavoured with vanilla, maple and topped with chia seeds.
Finally, we top with coconut yoghurt and some more berries. I also added some edible flowers to make the Guilt-free Blackberry Oatmeal Parfait pretty.
