  • 2 medium240 gBananasliced
  • 1¼ cups sliced200 gStrawberriessliced
  • 1 cup150 gBlueberries
  • 1 cup120 gRaspberries
  • 1 cup90 gOld-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chopped30 gPecanschopped
  • 2⅛ tsp10 gUnsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp40 gMaple syrup
  • ½ tsp1 gGround cinnamon
  • 1 tsp4 gVanilla extract
  • 2 tsp10 gLemon juice

Steps

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oats and pecans and toast, stirring often, for 5 to 6 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  2. Stir half of the maple syrup, the cinnamon and the salt into the oats and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until the clusters look glossy. Spread the oat crunch on a plate to cool for about 10 minutes so it crisps.
  3. While the crunch cools, stir the vanilla and the remaining half of the maple syrup into the cottage cheese in a bowl.
  4. In another bowl, toss the strawberries, blueberries and raspberries with the lemon juice. Slice the banana just before assembling so it stays bright.
  5. Divide half of the cottage cheese mixture among four glasses, then add half of the berry mix and half of the banana slices.
  6. Top with the remaining half of the cottage cheese mixture, the remaining half of the berry mix and the remaining half of the banana slices.
  7. Sprinkle the oat crunch over each parfait just before serving so it stays crisp.
