Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade breakfast parfait featuring tangy fresh rhubarb compote, creamy honey-sweetened Greek yogurt, and crunchy toasted oats. Perfect for spring and summer mornings.

Ingredients

  • Fresh rhubarb stalks (about 1 pound / 450 grams), chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • Honey (1/4 cup / 85 grams), plus extra for drizzling
  • Fresh lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), optional
  • Plain Greek yogurt (2 cups / 480 ml), full-fat or 2%
  • Honey (2 tablespoons) for yogurt
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats (1 cup / 90 grams)
  • Unsalted butter (1 tablespoon), melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon), optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rhubarb Compote: In a medium saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, honey, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, lower heat to simmer and cook 8-10 minutes until rhubarb softens but holds shape. Stir in vanilla extract if using. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Toast the Oats: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread oats on a baking sheet, drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle cinnamon and salt, and toss to coat. Bake 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and nutty. Let cool completely.
  3. Sweeten the Yogurt: Mix Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons honey until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Parfaits: In glasses or jars, layer 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey-sweetened yogurt, 2 tablespoons rhubarb compote, and 2 tablespoons toasted oats. Repeat layers, finishing with oats and a drizzle of honey on top.
  5. Serve or Chill: Enjoy immediately for crunch or refrigerate up to 4 hours for softer oats and chilled parfait.

Notes

If rhubarb is too tart, add more honey to balance. Toast oats evenly by stirring halfway through baking. Prepare compote a day ahead for convenience. For vegan version, use plant-based yogurt, coconut oil, and maple syrup instead of honey.
