Are you tired of eating pancakes and eggs every morning for breakfast? I know I am! I have been revamping our breakfast menu this summer trying to come up with something better than cold cereal and waffles. Breakfast can be a crazy time of day at my house with everyone doing chores and getting ready for our day so it needs to be something not to hard. I found a winner with this one!
I thought I would turn my granola recipe I have been using for years into a yummy breakfast. We typically have used it for snacks but I have to say they thought I was the coolest mom ever when I made parfaits for breakfast. It really only took a minute to layer the fruit and they thought it was so fancy! Even my 2 year old gave it rave reviews. The granola on the top is what makes it super tasty and lucky for you it is super easy!
{On a side note it would make a great patriotic breakfast for the upcoming 4th of July holiday. I totally didn’t plan it that way blueberries and strawberries was just the fruit I had on hand but I will definitely be doing it on purpose for the 4th of July!!}
