Your childhood favorite peanut butter & jelly sandwich just transformed into a tasty breakfast parfait! These PB&J Granola Parfaits are layered with creamy coconut yogurt, homemade peanut butter granola, strawberry chia seed jam, & extra peanut butter. Enjoy these parfaits for breakfast, a healthy snack, or dessert!

2 weck jars filled with coconut yogurt, peanut butter granola, strawberry jam, peanut butter, and fresh berries, sitting on a white marble counter, with spoons in them.

PB&J just got a fancy breakfast makeover.

Except it’s really not that fancy…

Parfaits *look* fancy, but in reality it’s just the beautiful layers that give off that arty vibe. When you break down the layers, you’ll see it’s a combination of whole food ingredients that were made for each other.

A Simple Breakfast Parfait

Yogurt (pick your favorite)
Homemade strawberry chia seed jam (more on that below)
Crunchy peanut butter granola (link included in this easy recipe too!)

1 weck jar filled with coconut yogurt, peanut butter granola, strawberry jam, peanut butter, and fresh berries, sitting on a white marble counter, with spoons in them.

How to Make the Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

Warm up a 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the strawberries to cook down for about 5 minutes, or until you can see the juices release and mixture start to bubble.
Use a potato masher (or the back of a fork) to mash the strawberries down. Add in chia seeds,then stir.
Remove the pan from heat, transfer to glass jar to set and thicken.

That’s it! A simple sugar-free strawberry chia seed jam.

Making the Breakfast Parfaits

Now for the final step: assemble the parfaits!

I opted for multiple layers here: start with yogurt, add jam, then granola – repeat. Top with peanut butter before closing the jars.

Recipe Notes

Make ahead: If preparing these breakfast parfaits ahead of time, I would try and make the granola and chia seed jam at the same time. They can be prepped a couple of days in advance!

Enjoy within a few days: If you’re looking to assemble and make the parfaits in advance, try to use within 3 days for best flavor and texture.

Make it quick: If you just need something quick to take out the door with you, skip the layering technique and add the amount of yogurt you want into the bottom of a jar, add chia seed jam, granola and top with a little extra peanut butter and fresh strawberries.

Dietary options: Make them dairy-free and vegan by choosing your favorite yogurt (I used coconut yogurt). And keep this recipe gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats.

Change it up: If strawberries aren’t your jam, you can use your favorite berry or berry combo. Fresh or frozen both work great!
