Toasted Hazelnut Breakfast Parfait
January 26, 2015
I hate to see a weekend go by so fast. Sometimes I wish we would adhere to a 3-day weekend and a 4-day workweek. Productivity would increase (my opinion) because the week wouldn’t drag on and on. But here we are on Monday morning wishing the week hadn’t started quite yet.
The weekends are about quality family time, lounging around the house, running meaningful errands and more elaborate breakfast options. During the week we are typically on the go and on the weekends it’s about bacon, toast, quiche, cinnamon rolls, breakfast casseroles and other items.
This toasted hazelnut breakfast parfait is perfect for the weekday or weekends. It’s healthy and you can even indulge with a little sprinkle of chocolate on top. Yes, it most definitely needs the cocoa powder on top. This breakfast parfait can be made ahead of time and you can just carry the berries with you if you eat at work.
The yogurt is also paired with some toasted hazelnuts for the top as well as International Delight’s Toasted Hazelnut creamer which is sugar free and fat free. This past week International Delight released a new game called Hazelnut Blitz that can be played on your phone. It’s a lot like candy crush but you don’t have to pay to advance. Plus you get to win prizes! I won’t lie that I actually spent some time playing on this past weekend and I’m on level 4.

I love the taste of hazelnuts, so I definitely need to try this recipe. Sounds delicious.
I think we were on the same wavelength or something with our posts today. I love a good parfait in the morning! And this one is SO simple and guaranteed to be tasty with the hazelnut flavor…
I am a hazelnut “nut”, so I love this recipe. Thanks!
The chocolate is absolutely necessary!
This looks amazing! Your pictures are gorgeous, too.
What a gorgeous, healthy breakfast!
I wish the weekend would last forever as well, wouldn’t that be nice??! Having a breakfast like this makes a weekday morning a little bit better though! So pretty!
What a great breakfast for weekday mornings!
International Delight is the only brand to off both Fat Free and Sugar Free in the same container creamers! It is so hard to find in the stores-I don’t know whether they just don’t make as much or the stores don’t think it will sell–but it will!! I am positive this parfait would be delicious!
Hazelnut is one of my favorite flavors of coffee, so I know I would adore this. It looks just delightful, especially with the toppings!
Yummy! That looks more like a dessert than a breakfast! Love raspberries!
These are just beautiful!! Love this! xo
I have chia seeds I haven’t used for a while. I need to get them out and make this!
I so WISH I had made myself this for breakfast!
I love parfaits, this is so pretty!
Yum! I could eat this every day for breakfast AND dessert.
Wow! That looks really good and healthy… love hazelnut!!!!
I have never thought to use flavored creamer to flavor yogurt! Neat idea! I love that you included chia seeds too to sneak in a little more dose of superfood
I am not a giant fan of hazelnut, but these truly look amazing. Almost too pretty to eat- almost!
This looks so delicious! Beautiful!
Oh my gosh, these breakfast parfaits look and sound absolutely incredible. I love how you used International Delight and chia in this.
