Must Make during Fig Season: Yogurt Honey Fig Breakfast Parfait

This beautiful layered yogurt honey fig breakfast parfait is the perfect way to start the day. Enjoy this simple, fresh and delicious recipe during fig season! I used black mission figs from Trader Joe’s but any figs will do!

I’m obsessed with figs and can’t get enough during the fig season in California which runs mid-May through December. I’ve discovered the frozen figs are delicious for snacking or adding to smoothies, so I buy extra figs and freeze them every year. I always save some to eat fresh, and love using them in breakfast parfaits like this one which is layered with yogurt, granola and honey. Figs have fiber, vitamins & minerals, and antioxidants and are a perfect addition to your morning!

Yogurt Honey Fig Breakfast Parfait Ingredients

For this 5-Ingredient parfait I bought all of my ingredients from Trader Joe’s, but feel free to play around with different granolas (like this recipe!), yogurts and fig varieties!

Black Mission Figs: All figs are delicious but I love the deep purple color skin and strawberry colored inside of black mission figs.

Honey Greek Yogurt: Honey and figs are a match made in heaven so this yogurt is delicious in this breakfast parfait. If you prefer a less sweet parfait simply substitute with plain greek yogurt.

Granola: Any granola will do, including homemade granola, but I opted for this toasted coconut granola from Trader Joes because of the unique combination of rolled outs, cornflakes, sprouted quinoa, almonds and toasted coconut chips. It is delicious and gluten free.

Walnuts: I like to up my Omega 3’s by putting walnuts on everything lately. I used raw walnuts, but toasted would be delicious too. Coconut chips or other nut varieties would make great substitutions.

Honey: This is optional as this parfait is already sweet, but it looks pretty and who doesn’t love a little extra drizzle of honey?!

Directions for Yogurt Honey Fig Breakfast Parfait

This recipe is so simple and can be made in minutes, perfect for busy mornings when you want to indulge in a filling breakfast but don’t have too much time to cook a full meal.  Use a clear glass so you can see the pretty layers. Start out with a scoop of yogurt in each glass. For each parfait cut one fig horizontally to make 1/4 inch slices and press gently against the inside of the glass until it stays in place. Add a more layers of granola, and then another layer of yogurt. Top parfait off with a little bit more granola, some chopped walnuts, one more fig chopped into 8 pieces (first quarter it and then halve each quarter) and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
