Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the gluten-free rolled oats and toast, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and cinnamon until well combined.
Wash and gently pat dry the mixed berries. Slice strawberries if large.
In serving glasses or bowls, layer as follows: a spoonful of yogurt, a sprinkle of toasted oats, a handful of berries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Repeat layers to fill the glass, finishing with berries and a final sprinkle of toasted oats.
Top each parfait with chia seeds and pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
Serve immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes for a refreshing treat.
