This make-ahead layered oat and berry parfait combines creamy yogurt and milk-soaked rolled oats with honey, cocoa and a mix of fruits and crunchy nuts for a balanced breakfast or light dessert. After a short prep, the mixture rests in the fridge so the oats absorb the liquid and the flavors mellow; frozen berries are gently warmed with a touch of sugar to make a bright compote, while banana, walnuts and chocolate shavings add sweetness and texture. It assembles quickly in small bowls and is ideal for serving chilled, garnished with extra mixed nuts for crunch perfect for busy mornings or a relaxed weekend treat.
