healthy brunch mini parfaits + maple coconut granola Breakfasts & Lunches & Recipes

I’m a huge fan of brunch. It’s actually starting to become a regular Sunday thing among my friends. I love returning from my long run, taking a hot shower, and then emerging to a scene of friends, delicious food smells and the sheer joy of creating something special together.

We go all out during brunch. Everyone contributes something – whether it’s pancakes, home fries, sausage, a fruit salad, or mimosas. One of my favorite breakfasts of all time would have to be a homemade parfait. I often will set out the fixings – I brought them to share at work once as well – but they usually go untouched: no one quite knows what to make of an assortment of yogurt, fruit and granola sitting out on a table. Sure, separately, they’re great. But together, they’re wonderful.

For Easter this year, I’m going to be bringing mini pre-made parfaits to the table with homemade granola. You can’t really go wrong when you bring something healthy and delicious to Easter brunch.
