The Parfait

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt I use Fage full fat yogurt.
  • 1/4 cup Granola Dust
  • 2 tbsp Cookie Nut Butter
  • 1/4 cup Mixed Berries I used blackberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Instructions
 

Granola Dust

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the oats and nuts on a large baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Toss together and roast for 7 minutes.
  • After the 7 minutes, stir in the seeds and cacao nibs. Mix thoroughly, and bake for additional 5 minutes, or until everything is lightly browned.
  • Pulse all toasted ingredients in a large food processor until coarsely ground. Then add the remaining ingredients, pulsing for 30-45 seconds longer. Store in an airtight container.

Cookie Nut Butter

  • Toast nuts in a large, dry skillet at medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add raisins, dates, and walnuts to a food processor. Pulse to the size of small pebbles. Remove and set aside.
  • Add shredded coconut, cashews, macadamia nuts, and coconut oil to the processor. Process until very smooth (this may take a few minutes). Then add honey, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Resume processing for another 30 seconds or so.
  • Add reserved date mixture, pulsing for a few seconds to combine.

The Parfait

  • In a parfait or wine glass (or mason jar), layer in the yogurt, nut butter (formed into a disk), granola dust, and berries. Then repeat that order once more and serve!

Additional Notes

  • Feel free to use regular nut butter. It can be homemade, or even store-bought to save time. 
  • The granola dust will yield roughly 6 cups, and last for 2 months in an airtight container.
  • The cookie nut butter will yield roughly 2.5-3 cups, and last 2-3 weeks in an airtight container. You can store in the fridge for extended shelf life, but the nut butter will become quite hard.
