Quick fix: Avocado cornflakes parfait
What's the story
A quick breakfast can make all the difference on busy mornings, and an avocado cornflakes parfait is just the thing. This simple dish combines creamy avocado with crunchy cornflakes, giving you a balanced meal in minutes. It's not just easy but also nutritious, making it perfect for anyone looking to kickstart their day without spending too much time in the kitchen.
Ingredients
Gather your ingredients
To make this parfait, you will need ripe avocados, cornflakes, honey or maple syrup for sweetness, and some fresh fruits like berries or bananas for added flavor and nutrition. Having all ingredients ready beforehand will make the preparation process smoother and quicker.
Preparation
Prepare the avocado base
Start by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit. Scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth. You can add a little honey or lemon juice to enhance its flavor. This creamy base will be the main component of your parfait, giving it a rich texture without any dairy.
Layering
Layer with cornflakes
Once your avocado base is ready, it's time to assemble your parfait. Take a glass or bowl and start with a layer of cornflakes at the bottom. This adds a satisfying crunch that complements the smooth avocado. Alternate layers of avocado mash and cornflakes until you reach the desired height.
Fruits addition
Add fresh fruits for flavor
To make your parfait even tastier, add some fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas between layers of avocado and cornflakes. These not only add natural sweetness but also provide additional vitamins and minerals that are essential for a healthy start to the day.
Serving tips
Serve immediately or refrigerate briefly
Once assembled, serve your parfait immediately for maximum freshness and crunchiness from the cornflakes. If you prefer to enjoy it later in the morning, refrigerate it briefly (no more than 30 minutes) before serving so that flavors meld without losing texture.
