Do you find yourself wanting something really good for breakfast but being too rushed in the mornings to put much effort into preparing something? I was having this problem so I decided I need to prep breakfast the night before. That's how these peanut butter breakfast parfaits were born!
I never skip breakfast anymore. It really is the most important meal of the day (duh, I was totally ignoring that little fact).This recipe is much healthier and much more delicious than grabbing a pastry at the coffee shop or running through a drive-through on the way to work. Trust me!
In fact, it's almost too delicious to call breakfast. Which is great because it makes a great snack any time of the day. The ingredients (see them below in the recipe) are easy to keep stocked. Having versatile staple ingredients on hand in the kitchen is really the best tip I have for becoming better at eating in.
Doesn't this recipe just make you hungry? It's smooth, crunchy, and so satisfying. Who says meals at home have to be boring? I actually like having these peanut butter parfaits for dessert too. I toss in a few chocolate chips which makes it even better!
If you like having cereal as dessert, you'll like this recipe. You might also like these cereal ice cream cakes and cereal-topped donuts!
Could you do a better job eating in more often? Do you love cooking, or could you use a little help? Either way, anyone can make the change to cook in more. The key is really to plan meals in advance and have versatile ingredients stocked in your kitchen.
This breakfast parfait recipe takes five minutes to make in the morning, and they are a crowd-pleaser—my kids love them too! Personally, eating breakfast every morning at home was a great first step in changing my eating habits. What could you be better at? Pick one meal that you’re likely to go out for (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) and challenge yourself to cook in for seven days. You can do it!
