Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup Greek yogurt (or any preferred yogurt)

1 cup granola (your favorite kind)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Caramelize the Bananas:

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently to coat the bananas with the sugar mixture. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bananas are soft and golden, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

      Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

        In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended. This will add a lovely flavor to your parfait.

          Layer the Parfaits:

            In serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of the yogurt mixture (about 1/4 cup). Follow this with a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons), and then add a generous layer of the caramelized bananas (about 1/4 of the mixture). Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.

              Garnish:

                If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top layer of yogurt for added crunch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

                  Serve:

                    Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to one hour to meld the flavors.
