Brunch Week

Welcome to the fourth annual #BrunchWeek! We are so excited to have you join us this year as we celebrate Brunch and prepare for Mother’s Day.

Bloggers from around the country are showcasing their best brunch dishes, from cocktails to cakes, breakfast breads, tarts, and quiche – there is something for everyone!

Today is the fifth day of our event and I am joining in with a Lemon Blueberry Parfait recipe.

Lemon Blueberry Parfait

These Lemon Blueberry Parfaits are a light and refreshing addition to the brunch table with a minimal amount of ingredients and prep time.

Plain Greek yogurt is flavored with lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. For a little sweetness, fold in honey as desired.

The mixture is layered in serving glasses or small bowls with granola and fresh blueberries. To finish, top the Lemon Blueberry Parfaits with a little lemon zest and fresh mint before serving immediately.

A Few Lemon Blueberry Parfait Tips

Want a stronger citrus flavor? Check out my Meyer Lemon Parfaits.

For quick assembly, the lemon yogurt can be prepared up to a day or two in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use. Do not layer the parfaits until immediately before serving. The granola will soak in the moisture from the yogurt with time and lose its crisp texture.

If the honey is too thick to stir, microwave for 10 to 20 seconds, just until runny enough to blend into the Greek yogurt. Adjust the amount of honey to taste and desired sweetness. I usually go with 1 1/2 tablespoons (22 milliliters).

If using smaller or thinner glasses to layer the Lemon Blueberry Parfait, it usually helps to transfer the lemon yogurt into a piping bag. This will help control the amount of each layer added and keep the edges of the glass clean.

Make this recipe with your favorite granola. I personally like the flavors paired with a Vanilla Almond Granola. My Cookie Butter Granola would also be a fun option.

The exact amount of servings will depend on the size of the individual glasses.
