Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, diced (reserve a few slices for garnish)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)

1 cup whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free option)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup granola (your favorite variety)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches. Set aside to let the flavors meld for about 10 minutes.

    Mix Yogurt and Cinnamon: In a separate bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with the cinnamon. This will give the yogurt a warm and aromatic flavor that complements the peaches.

      Whip the Cream: If using, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold this into the cinnamon yogurt mixture until well combined for a lighter texture.

        Assemble the Parfaits: In clear glasses or dessert cups, layer the parfait starting with a spoonful of the peach mixture, followed by a layer of the yogurt cream blend, then a layer of granola. Repeat the layering until the cups are full, finishing with the yogurt cream on top.

          Chill: Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop and the parfait to chill.

            Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add a peach slice on top of each parfait and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy these chilled on a sunny day!
