Peach Crisp Parfait, an easy and healthy breakfast or snack recipe that will fill you up! The best with fresh peaches and lots of cinnamon!

Thank you to Friendship Dairies for sponsoring this post. The recipe and all opinions are my own. (For your shopping convenience, this post contains affiliate links.)

Peach Crisp Parfait, an easy breakfast or snack recipe packed with protein thanks to Friendship Dairies cottage cheese! You can even make it ahead for a quick breakfast throughout the week. This parfait will fill you up and give you lots of energy for the day.

This Peach Crisp Parfait is super easy to make. You can make your own creation with Friendship Dairies cottage cheese, thanks to the Friendship Dairies Superfood Generator. You pick the cottage cheese variety then add 3 superfood mix-ins. You’ll get a summary with all the protein and health benefits.

For my superfood mix-ins I added peaches (Vitamin C), cinnamon (Manganese), and oats (fiber). Then added a few more including coconut sugar (low glycemic index) and walnuts (omega 3 fatty acids). I took all my superfood mix-in ideas and made it into a parfait for an easy breakfast or snack.

If you need more recipe inspiration, check out some of the Friendship Dairies Recipes. Lots of great ideas for bowls, smoothies, and other recipes. Cottage cheese is so versatile and can be mixed with just about anything sweet or savory.

So for my recipe, I started with the 1% milkfat whipped cottage cheese. I love the creamier texture and that a half cup has a whopping 15 grams of protein. Friendship Dairies cottage cheese is The Original Superfood, high in protein, and a good source of long-lasting energy. I don’t know about you, but I need all the energy I can get these days!

Then I took some of my mix-in choices and made a crispy layer for my parfait with oats, walnuts, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and a little butter. I baked it in the oven until golden brown. You can easily make this oat mixture ahead of time and store in a little container or sealable bag in the cupboard.

To add a little spice to my peaches, I added a little cinnamon, coconut sugar, and butter and baked in the oven until the peaches were soft. You could easily make the peaches ahead and store in a covered container in the fridge.

Lastly, I added a little more coconut sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to the cottage cheese then layered it with the peaches and oat mixture. A healthier alternative to traditional peach crisp!

Peach Crisp Parfait

Quick and easy breakfast!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Yield 2 -4
Author Lisa Huff

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup steel cut oats
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter cold & cubed
  • 4 peaches pits removed & chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 cups Friendship Dairies Cottage Cheese
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together oats, walnuts, 1 teaspoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in small bowl. Cut in 2 teaspoons of butter until mixture is slightly clumpy. Spread on small baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes or until browned and crispy. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place chopped peaches in a baking dish. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon on top. Top with butter. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes or until peaches are soft and butter has melted. Stir to combine, then set aside to cool.
  • In small mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Layer cheese filling, peaches, and crisp oat mixture in small glasses or mason jars.

Notes

SNAPPY TIPS: These can be made ahead of time, and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Although I suggest storing the crisp oat mixture in a small sealable bag (not in the fridge) and add before serving so that it stays crispy and doesn't get soggy in the fridge.
SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of steel cut oats and walnuts, you can substitute your favorite type of oats and nuts. Instead of peaches, you could substitute apples or other fruit. Adjust baking time as needed.

    I love so many things about this, but most especially that it can be made ahead! Every year around this time, I scour for delicious recipes that will satisfy my 12 year old that can be made easily ahead for school. Bingo!
