Instead of the usual parfait made with granola, this parfait combines creamy French Vanilla yogurt with delicious gluten-free banana bread and slices of perfectly ripe banana for a delicious breakfast at home or on the go! The idea of this recipe came to me while tossing and turning the other night. I made a trial version of it right away the next day for my son to try, and he LOVED it and told me this was definitely a thumbs up idea! I did some searching on Pinterest and couldn’t find anything like this. Yay for creating something new!

Breakfast parfaits are really a once-in-a-while type of thing around our house. These gluten-free Banana Bread Parfaits are definitely kid-friendly. My oldest son was already talking to me about how much he hoped I would make these again since they were so easy. Both of my boys and my husband liked these, so that’s a win in my book!

I put these together in half-pint sized Ball canning jars, also called jelly jars. The size was perfect for one filling serving for a breakfast or snack on the go. One thing that I especially liked about doing them in the jar is that I could just put on the lid and screw shut to take this to go. On the day I photographed these, I was heading out to pick up my oldest from school and drop him off at a friend’s house for a few hours. I figured he’d be hungry, so I put the lid on and grabbed a spoon on my way out the door. He was LOVING having it in the car on the way to his friend’s house.

Since I’m a member of the Stonyfield Clean Plate Club Bloggers, I get to try many varieties of Stonyfield yogurt. I really love their Smooth & Creamy French Vanilla yogurt, and it worked really well in this recipe. It is the same one I used in my gluten-free Best Peach Cake and that I use in our Raspberry Peach Smoothies that we have often.

For the banana bread, just use a thick slice of your favorite gluten-free banana bread or grab a gluten-free banana muffin. As I’ve mentioned before, I make 1-2 batches at a time and freeze the majority of the muffins. I just had to pull a few muffins out of the freezer and I was ready to make parfaits for my whole family in just minutes.

I hope you’ll make this breakfast on the go soon!
