Cardamom Kefir Overnight Oat Berry Parfaits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups160 gOld-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1½ cups (350 ml)360 gPlain kefir, low-fat
  • 1 oz24 gChia seeds
  • 1 tsp2 gGround cardamom
  • 1¼ tsp5 gVanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp40 gMaple syrupdivided
  • 2 cups250 gRaspberries
  • 1⅓ cups200 gBlueberriesdivided
  • 2 tsp4 gLemon zest
  • 3 containers (6 oz)500 gPlain Greek yogurt, nonfat
  • ⅓ cup40 gPumpkin seeds (pepitas)roughly chopped

Steps

  1. The night before, stir the oats, kefir, cardamom, vanilla and half of the maple syrup in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours, until the oats are soft and creamy.
  2. Also the night before, lightly mash the raspberries and half of the blueberries in a second bowl. Stir in the chia seeds, the lemon zest and the remaining half of the maple syrup. Cover and refrigerate so the chia seeds thicken the berries into a soft jam.
  3. In the morning, give the kefir oats and the berry chia mash a stir.
  4. Set out 4 glasses. Divide half of the kefir oats among them, then top with half of the Greek yogurt.
  5. Spoon half of the berry chia mash over the yogurt, then add the remaining half of the kefir oats, then the remaining half of the Greek yogurt.
  6. Top with the remaining half of the berry chia mash and the remaining half of the blueberries, left whole.
  7. Scatter the pumpkin seeds over each parfait just before serving so they stay crunchy.
