Gluten-Free Bananas Foster & Granola Parfaits
This is one of those super simple recipes that barely feels like a recipe at all. It always impresses people, even the pickiest of kids, yet it takes only minutes to prepare. It’s a perfect accompaniment to a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch since it looks so fancy with the pretty layers. For less sugar, choose plain, unflavored yogurt. For a sweeter version, choose vanilla yogurt.
