I\u2019m not sure how this happened, but Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. \u00a0For me, Thanksgiving usually involves a ton of menu-planning for each of the Thanksgiving breakfasts\/lunches\/dinners that make up our awesome multi-family, multi-language week of giving thanks. \u00a0To make things easier and a lot more enjoyable, I\u2019m huge on prepping a lot of the meals beforehand, so I\u2019m not stuck in the kitchen instead of enjoying time with friends and family.<\/p>\n

These breakfast parfaits are a perfect make-ahead option. \u00a0You can make the pumpkin mixture and maple nut granola a few days ahead of time, and assemble them a few minutes before Thanksgiving breakfast. \u00a0They\u2019re light yet filling, and the layers of bright orange and white will look like you slaved away on breakfast for a few hours. \u00a0Now that\u2019s what I call planning ahead\u2026<\/p>\n

      Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Pumpkin Yogurt Parfaits<\/span><\/p>\n

      In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup and cinnamon. \u00a0Cover and refrigerate while you make the granola, or up to 2 days.<\/p>\n

      Maple Nut Granola<\/span><\/p>\n

      Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0 and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

      In a medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter and maple syrup with a spoon. \u00a0Stir in the oats, chopped nuts and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

      Transfer the granola to the lined baking sheet, making sure the granola is in a single layer, and bake at 325\u00b0 for 10 minutes. \u00a0Remove from the oven, stir the granola, and return to the oven to bake for another 10 minutes. \u00a0Remove from the oven, and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. \u00a0Once cooled, assemble the parfaits, or store the granola in a glass jar for up to a week.<\/p>\n

      To assemble the parfaits:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Spoon 1\/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture into a serving glass or bowl, and 1\/2 cup into the second glass\/bowl. \u00a0Top with 1\/2 cup of the greek yogurt in each serving glass or bowl.<\/p>\n

      Divide the remaining pumpkin puree and greek yogurt between the two serving glasses. \u00a0You should have two pumpkin layers and two greek yogurt layers in each glass\/bowl. \u00a0Top with maple nut granola, and an additional drizzle of maple syrup, if desired. \u00a0Serve immediately, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
