Healthy Dessert and Breakfast Dish – Parfait Tart

To pair with the lovely meal I made for my family during fall break in October, I created a healthy parfait tart so that it wouldn’t be too sweet and there would be plenty of healthy aspects to it so my grandparents wouldn’t feel guilty partaking. It’s simple and delicious, and can be eaten for dessert after a big meal, or for breakfast the next day!

Ingredients:

·      1.5 cups oats

·      1 cup finely chopped walnuts

·      1 tbsp sesame seeds

·      5 tbsp coconut oil, melted

·      1/4 cup honey

·      1 tsp vanilla extract

·      1/2 tsp cinnamon

·      2 cup greek yogurt, vanilla or plain

·      Assortment of fruits for decoration

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Combine the oats, walnuts, sesame seeds, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Press the mixture into a tart pan and spread it evenly throughout the pan and up the sides. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden, and once you remove it from the oven use a spoon to press the mixture back down and up the sides again. Allow the crust to cool completely. Fill the crust with the yogurt and decorate with fruit, and you’re all set!
