Maple Persimmon Toast

Your morning toast just got an upgrade! Persimmons are one of my favorite winter fruits and go so well with greek yogurt. They're great on toast, but also pair nicely in a parfait. You can choose to sub maple syrup for honey, or completely exclude it if you prefer. If persimmons aren't your thing or not in season, try this recipe with bananas instead! You won't be disappointed. 

Berry Cobbler Parfait

A healthier twist on a favorite dessert. Enjoy as a sweet treat or indulgent breakfast. This is a recipe you will never have to feel guilty about. 




Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1
Calories: ~280 
Ingredients:
1/4 cup raw oats
1/2 tbsp solid coconut oil
1/2 a cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
1 tsp cornstarch
3 tbsp splenda
1/4 cup greek yogurt
vanilla (powder, liquid, or bean)
powdered cinnamon

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, add oats and solid coconut oil. Use your fingers to crumble the oats and oil together until the texture is that similar to a cobbler topping. Spread mixture evenly onto a lined baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes until the oats are golden brown in color and a bit crispy in texture. Then remove from oven and allow to cool. 
2. While oats are baking and cooling, in a small bowl, add berries, cornstarch, and 2 tbsp splenda. Toss to coat. Add to a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat until mixture is bubbly and thick. You may need to add water if the berries stick to the pan. Once the consistency is that of a compote or berry filling, remove from heat and set aside. 
3. In another small bowl, add greek yogurt, 1 tbsp of splenda, a dash of vanilla, and some cinnamon to taste. Mix together well. 
4. To assemble, first fill a small bowl with the berry compote. Then add toasted oats on top, spoon vanilla yogurt over the top, and finish with another sprinkle of cinnamon.
