Ingredients
For blueberry compote
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen, defrosted
- 1 ½ tablespoon brown sugar see notes
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
For rest of parfait
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or other plain, relatively thick yogurt
- ½ cup granola approximately
Instructions
To make blueberry compote (can be made ahead)
- Wash and drain the blueberries and place in a small saucepan with the sugar, lemon juice and water.
- Place the saucepan on the stove on a medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer gently for around 10 minutes until the blueberries are soft and mostly popped open - you can press them gently with the back of a spatula to pop more, if you like. Remove from heat and cool before storing or before using.
To make parfait
- Place roughly two tablespoonfuls of the blueberry compote in the bottom of two glasses. Top each with a layer of yogurt (use around ¼ cup, 60ml) then around two tablespoonfuls of granola. Repeat the layers so you have two layers each of compote, yogurt and granola. To finish, drizzle a small amount extra compote on top and/or top with a few fresh blueberries.

Notes
The compote makes around 10 tablespoon (150ml) so you may not need quite all of it for the parfaits, but it's delicious for so many things, like pancakes, ice cream and more. In fact I recommend making extra on purpose!
The amount of sugar needed depends on how sweet your blueberries are - you may need between 1 and 2 tablespoons per cup of blueberries. I start with 1 tablespoon then add a little more if needed. You can also use maple syrup instead of sugar.
While I really like plain yogurt as I find there's enough sweetness from the fruit and granola, you could also use vanilla or lemon yogurt instead, if you prefer.
