Healthy Yogurt Parfait Cups with Fig – A fiber rich gluten-free breakfast to-go! A blended Yogurt Cup with dried California Mission Figs, chia seeds, a drizzle of molasses, and a cinnamon toasted buckwheat topping!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup dried figs. Stems removed.
  • 1 cup almond or coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 frozen small to medium banana
  • 1 tbsp honey (divided)

Instructions

  1. Remove stems from figs, slice in half, place in bowl and cover with water and a drizzle of honey. Soak for 10 minutes or so. This is optional but it makes the figs more soft, flexible, and sticky sweet for the parfait cups. Like a fig newton filling!
  2. Preheat oven to 350F. While oven preheats, make your creamy yogurt blend.
  3. In a blender, blend together yogurt, almond milk, banana, honey, almond butter. Set aside.
  4. Toss together 1/2 cup buckwheat groats coconut oil, cinnamon, and sugar. See notes of other grains to toast.
  5. Toast on baking pan at 350F for 5-6 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  6. Place 3 slices of figs (each) into two cups, pour your creamy yogurt blend on top. Layer with more figs on top. Add toasted cinnamon buckwheat on top, then a pinch of cinnamon, molasses, and chia seeds.

Notes

  • Substitutes – Feel free to try swap the buckwheat with toasted nuts, quinoa, or granola.
  • Vegan option – use coconut yogurt or non dairy yogurt of choice.
