Maple Bacon Granola Parfaits
Crunchy, subtly smoky camp-made granola laced with crispy bacon, layered with creamy Greek yogurt and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. This sweet-savory breakfast parfait packs energy for the trail and comes together with minimal cleanup—great for car campers who want a treat without the fuss.
Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
- 4 jars or cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pecans roughly chopped
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat skillet over medium heat on campfire grate or stove. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; set aside on paper towels. Pour off excess fat, leaving a thin coating.
- Add vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in oats, pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Toast, stirring often, until oats turn golden and smell nutty, about 6-8 minutes.
- Return bacon to the skillet, drizzle maple syrup over granola, and stir until coated and slightly caramelized, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes—the granola will crisp as it cools.
- To serve, layer granola, Greek yogurt, and blueberries in jars or cups. Drizzle with a little extra maple syrup if desired.
Notes
This granola keeps well for several days in a sealed bag, so you can make it ahead at home if you prefer. Layer parfaits just before serving for the best texture. Cleanup is easy—just one skillet and a spoon!
