Strawberry Banana Parfait Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8” baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
2. In a food processor or blender, blend the dates, almond butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
3. Transfer the date mixture to a large bowl and stir in the oats, cinnamon, salt, almonds, and sunflower seeds until everything is well coated.
4. Press the mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly toasted.
5. Let cool completely. Then crumble into clusters—some large, some small—for that perfect granola texture.
6. To assemble, layer Greek yogurt, granola, banana slices, and strawberries in mason jars or parfait glasses and top with chia seeds. Repeat layers and enjoy immediately!
