Triple Berry Oat Parfait
Overnight oats are a staple in my house for so many reasons! They’re easy to make, contains simple and healthy ingredients, customizable and best of all.. my daughter loves them! These little parfaits make the perfect breakfast or snack (check out more snacks here). I personally love oat parfaits because they’re tasty and contain so many healthy ingredients.
This triple berry oat parfait is perfect for a rushed morning. Whip up a batch the night before and all you’ve got to do is set the jar in front of your little one (or grab it for yourself!!). In doing this, you’re giving your little one an awesome, filling start to the day.
With regular oats as the base, this parfait is full of fiber and a great amount of vitamins. The chia seeds not only help thicken and bind the parfait but also contain omega three fatty acids, protein and truly just pack a nutrient punch. I’m so passionate about chia seeds I think every toddler should have them in their diet. And here are five ways to get them in!
As for the delicious part; between berries, pure maple syrup and coconut whip cream, this “snack” tastes more like a dessert. You and the kids will be devouring them in no time!
Ingredients In The Oat Parfait
- 1 cup oats (not instant)
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 6 strawberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/3 cup blueberries
- 1/2 can full fall coconut milk, chilled in the fridge overnight
- 4 drops liquid stevia

How To Make Triple Berry Parfait
Make the oats by combining the first four ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and let sit overnight (or for at least four hours) in the fridge.
The next morning, prep your fruit by slicing the strawberries.
If you’ve placed the can of coconut milk in the fridge it should be hard and solid when you open it.
Place the coconut milk into a bowl and add the stevia. Using an electric mixer whip the coconut milk until it’s light, fluffy and resembles whip cream.
Begin layering your parfait with oats, berries and coconut whip.
Enjoy!
Makes two large servings or three small ones.
Note: Using full fat coconut milk is necessary. If the milk is not solid upon opening it won’t whip. If you flip the can upside down before placing it in the fridge the liquid separates making it easier. I’ve found the brand “Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk Classic” works best.

Glad it looks good Pilar! It’s a tasty one. I made this one a bit fancy but in truth, you can literally just throw everything into a jar the night before and grab and go in the morning- so worth it!
I love anything with oats/granola. This looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing.
Me too! I could live with just those two foods haaha
Oh, this sounds so yummy! And I love that it’s vegan! 😀
It’s definitely a tasty one.. who doesn’t love coconut whip?!
My toddler loves overnight oatmeal! Never realized you could make whipped cream with coconut milk, I’m totally going to try that. Thanks for sharing!
I love that your toddler loves this- way to go mama! And yes you can! It’s super rich though so just heads up not to scarf it all down- it gives you a tummy ache (said from experience lol)
Love this recipe! Will be trying it this week. Thank you so much for sharing!

Coconut whip is amazing- so decadent! And… coconuts!
Loving these ingredients! I have a first grader this year, and I’m thinking about ways to keep him full until lunch with a healthy breakfast. I see you also have some other great recipes. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment Grace! The oat parfait is a tasty one and keep in mind that pancakes can be frozen and reheated in the morning to make for fast (but healthy) breakfasts too! Aw.. first grade! That’s a huge step! Is he excited- are you?? I’ve yet to deal with the school thing but I imagine I’ll be a mess lol
This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks- it’s a tasty one for sure!
I love the idea of using coconut milk in here! I bet it adds so much creaminess and flavor, yum!
Mm I LOVE coconut milk- it makes everything creamy and decadent! Just don’t eat TOO much of it because it can have a laxative effect if you’re not used to it 😉
This parfait looks so good! I love anything blueberry 🙂
Agreed. I Could eat berries all the time 🙂
