4 Minute Baked Fruit Breakfast Parfaits |
Author: Nancy Baggett
A baked fruit compote just has a more "breakfasty" feel than one with fresh fruit--the warmth is comforting, plus with some granola sprinkled on top it's a bit reminiscent of a cobbler or crumble (always a good thing!). I also like that the hot fruit juices take the chill off the yogurt-- which makes it seem both homier and more flavorful. This recipe makes 2 parfaits. To double it , double the ingredients; use a 2-quart microwaving bowl; and increase the microwaving time by 20 to 30 seconds. Tip: If you choose a gluten-free granola, the recipe will be gluten-free.
- 2 medium-sized peaches (peeled), small pears, or large plums, pitted and cut into slices
- 1 cup mixed berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or strawberries (sliced if large)
- 2 tablespoons clover honey, or 2½ tablespoons gourmet fruit or vanilla syrup or Grand Marnier liqueur
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 5.3 ounces (or similar) carton of sweetened vanilla-flavored Greek-style yogurt, drained of any liquid
- Bowl of honey-almond or cinnamon granola, or gluten-free granola for serving
- Spread the fruit in a 9-inch glass pie plate or similar sized square or oblong glass baking dish. Drizzle over the honey or syrup and stir. Cover the dish with a microwave cover or wax paper. Microwave on high power 1 minute. Stop and stir. If the fruit is not bubbly hot and juicy, continue microwaving, stopping and checking at 15 second intervals until the fruit is done. Stir in the vanilla.
- Drain the juice from the fruit into a small deep bowl. Add the yogurt and whisk until the sauce is well blended and smooth. Divide the fruit between 2 pedestal dishes or glass bowls. Divide the yogurt sauce between them, spooning it over top. Serve immediately, along with a serving bowl of granola that can be added to the parfaits as desired.
- Alternatively, cover and store the ingredients separately, then briefly reheat the fruit in the microwave and assemble the parfaits up to an hour before serving time. Makes 2 servings.
