Roasted Plum Breakfast Parfait

Easy yogurt and granola breakfast parfait – The delicious combination of yogurt, roasted plums and granola is a delicious breakfast and an impressive dessert as well (I would serve it as snack too 🙂 ). This easy breakfast is light, delicious and satisfying. Top with any fruit, roasted or fresh fruits like berries, grapes, pomegranate, with yogurt or lime curd or jam preserves, the combination goes on.

Roasted plums are the most delicious fruit as it is. But roasted it in little butter and sugar until softened makes this stone fruit even more delicious! These delicious roasted plums make a gorgeous topping on pancakes. Layering them in yogurt parfait is one another way to use the roasted plums.

Parfait refers to frozen dessert. Different countries make parfait different ways. In France, parfait is made from sugar syrup, eggs and cream. In UK, its made from liqueur flavored meat paste(interesting..isn’t it). In Canada and Northern US it’s made using Yogurt, granola, fruits and nut layered. – Information courtesy – Wikipedia
