Start your day with a delightful Crunchy Cornflake Banana Parfait. This layered treat combines crunchy cornflakes, creamy yogurt, and fresh bananas for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.

Steps

In a glass or bowl, layer half of the yogurt at the bottom.
Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the yogurt.
Sprinkle half of the cornflakes over the bananas.
Repeat the layers with the remaining yogurt, banana slices, and cornflakes.
Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top if desired.
Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch, and top with fresh berries if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your parfait!

Tips for Crunchy Cornflake Banana Parfait

For the best contrast, serve as soon as assembled; cornflakes soften quickly against the yogurt and banana.
A clear glass shows off the layers, while a wide glass or bowl makes the parfait easier to eat.
Use a ripe banana that still holds its shape; very soft slices can make the layers mushy.

Drink pairing

A cup of lightly brewed black tea
Its clean, gently astringent flavor balances the creamy yogurt and sweet banana.

0% option: Chilled water with a slice of lemon

Storage

This parfait is best eaten immediately because the cereal loses its crunch. If needed, cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly, then eat within 1 day.
