I've been best friends with dessert for as long as I can remember. I've always had a bit of a sweet tooth but over the years, my taste for super sweet things has calmed down a bit. But still, after every meal I feel the need to have just a little something for dessert. So every night after dinner, we have dessert of some kind.
One particular dessert I've fallen in love with is a simple yogurt & granola parfait
I really love using simple ingredients. There are tons of recipes out there with crazy ingredients that you can't even find half the time, but in our house, we stick to recipes that are simple, but delicious because of the combination of ingredients!
There are a variety of granolas out there, but for this one I used Quaker? Simply Granola: Oats, Honey, Raisins and Almonds. I'm super picky about my granola and usually have a hard time falling in love with one, but I really enjoyed this granola! It's perfectly crunchy but also has lots of flavor from the other ingredients in the mix.
I loved adding honey and butterscotch chips to add in extra sweetness to this dessert. Butterscotch chips are always a favorite of mine because they are not overly sweet which makes them perfect for when you're looking for a light dessert after dinner.

What a lovely combination... and what a delicious result! I love yogurt and granola together, though lactose intolerance made it tough for the last few years, but since I'm apparently good with dairy now, I want to try this immediately! What a great light dessert!

It would have to be the same as you - as a topping on yogurt. I never would have thought about using butterscotch chips, though. I typically use chocolate chips.
Madison says
That's perfect, too! With the honey, butterscotch just sounded good to me!
