Ingredients

Servings 6

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup raisins
3 cups sliced hulled strawberries (about 1 1/2 one-pint baskets)
3 cups thinly sliced pitted peeled peaches (about 6 medium)
Nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Mix oats and almonds in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Combine 1/4 cup maple syrup and butter in heavy small saucepan. Bring to boil. Pour maple syrup mixture over oat mixture; stir to blend well. Bake 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add raisins to oat mixture; stir to blend. Bake until mixture is golden and crisp, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes longer. Cool granola completely in pan. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
Gently toss strawberries, peaches and remaining 3 tablespoons maple syrup in large bowl to blend. Divide fruit mixture among 6 parfait glasses. Sprinkle each parfait with granola, dividing equally. Top each with scoop of frozen yogurt, if desired, and serve.

Why this Strawberry and Peach Parfaits with Maple Granola works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Strawberry and Peach Parfaits with Maple Granola works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
