Now, you have no excuse to skip breakfast.
Blueberry Almond Oatmeal Parfait Ingredients Directions In a small saucepan, combine the oats, water, vanilla and cinnamon. Let simmer on low-medium heat for about 7-8 minutes, until oatmeal is cooked to your liking. Let the oatmeal cool for a few minutes before layering it into the parfait. Mix the yogurt and honey together to sweeten. To build the parfaits, spoon the oatmeal into the bottom of each glass, then layer on a spoonful of yogurt, then blueberries and almonds. Repeat layers until you have used all of the ingredients between the two glasses.
