A delicious breakfast treat to serve to guests. Layers of creamy Greek yoghurt with sweet, crunchy oats, nuts and tart berries. Feel free to add your own variations – stewed plums or rhubarb, fruit salad… anything you want!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To make oats:<\/em><\/p>\n

1.5 cups rolled oats<\/p>\n

1 tblspn butter<\/p>\n

scant 1\/4 cup honey or slightly less of agave<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (355 F). Put honey and oil in saucepan and stir over low heat for about 2 mins, or until they combine. In a large bowl, pour warm honey over oats and stir until coated. Arrange in a single layer on a non-stick tray (you might need 2 trays) and bake for 20-25 minutes, ‘stirring’ every 5 or so minutes, until the oats are golden.\u00a0 Allow to cool.<\/p>\n

To make pecans and hazelnuts:<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/2 tblspn butter<\/p>\n

1 tblspn brown sugar<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup pecans<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup hazelnuts<\/p>\n

1 tspn ground nutmeg<\/p>\n

1 tspn ground cinnamon<\/p>\n

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add sugar, spices and nuts and stir constantly until sugar completely dissolves. Pour nuts onto a sheet of aluminum foil and allow to cool.<\/p>\n

Now, the parfait:<\/em><\/p>\n

Thick Greek yoghurt (don’t use low fat unless you ABSOLUTELY have to)<\/p>\n

fresh berries – strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, mulberries etc.<\/p>\n

Honey toasted oats<\/p>\n

flaked coconut<\/p>\n

Caramelised pecans and hazelnuts<\/p>\n

Mix fresh berries together gently in a bowl so they are combined. In your favourite elegant glass (wine glass, tall glass, sundae glass) start with a spoon of the berry mixture. Add a dollop of yoghurt followed by honey toasted oats and a smattering of caramelised nuts. Repeat until the glass in full. Top off with flaked coconut and a fresh strawberry. Enjoy immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
