These healthy chia pudding parfaits are made with creamy coconut-vanilla chia pudding, juicy roasted peaches and crispy cinnamon-spiced granola. All the flavors of a summery peach crisp, in a cute and secretly healthy parfait!
Millions of peaches. That’s what you’ll find in my basket at the farmers’ market this time of year. That would be before I buy them and arrive home, only to realize that I’ve got less than forty-eight hours to use up millions of peaches, before they go squishy and bring on all the fruit flies.
If you’ve got the same problem, make this. It’ll help you use up about four of those peaches. You could always multiply it by a few hundred thousand if you want to use all of your millions. It’s super tasty, so you really might want to to consider that.
Let’s talk about other things I love about this recipe, you know, besides it helping me to avoid my peaches going bad before I get to eat them. It’s one of those healthy dessert or decadent breakfast recipes. All sweet stuff, but overall, it’s just sweet enough, and has no refined sugar. It’s full of good stuff, like peaches, lots of chia seeds, which I included in both the pudding and the granola, and Silk Unsweetened Coconutmilk, which is my favorite non-dairy milk for sweet treats (I love the coconutty flavor). Also, whether you make these as a breakfast or dessert, you can make everything in advance, and then assemble right before serving. In fact, you’re better off doing it that way, because the granola crisps up as it cools off, and since these are peach crisp parfaits, we want that.

Peach Crisp Chia Pudding Parfaits
Ingredients
For the Chia Pudding
- 1 cup Silk Unsweetened Coconutmilk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. almond butter, optional, you could also substitute natural peanut butter or cashew butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch cardamom, optional, but so nice!
- pinch salt
For the Cinnamon Chia Granola
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, gluten-free if needed
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- generous pinch salt
- 2 tbsp. maple syrup
- 2 tbsp. almond butter, can substitute natural peanut butter or cashew butter
- 2 tbsp. coconut oil, or your favorite baking oil
For the Roasted Peaches
- 4 cups diced peaches, about 4 medium peaches
- 1-2 tbsp. maple syrup, to taste
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
Make the Chia Pudding
- Place all ingredients together into a small container, like a mason jar. Stir well or cover tightly and shake until fully blended. Chill 4 hours or overnight.
Make the Cinnamon Chia Granola
- Preheat oven to 300° and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl, then spread evenly onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until granola begins to brown around the edges, about 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Make the Roasted Peaches
- Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Transfer to a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet. Place into the oven with your granola, and bake until peaches are very tender, about 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and stir a few times. Allow to cool completely. The mixture will thicken up as it cools.
Assemble the Parfaits
- Place a dollop of chia pudding into the bottoms of two to four mason jars or parfait glasses. Top with a dollop of peaches, then a sprinkle of granola. Repeat layering until ingredients are all used up (you may have some extra granola).
- Serve.
Recipe Notes
This recipe makes a nice sized batch of granola. Use as much as you like, and save the leftovers for snacking or breakfast - just make sure to store it in an airtight container to retain crispness.

Roasted peaches are the best! I hope you enjoy them! :)
Yumm! These look great Alissa :) I love peaches. So much that they never seem to get the chance to start going bad in my fruit bowl.
They are hard to resist. :) Thanks Chelsey!
I’m loving these parfaits!
Thanks Marla!
Just discovered you and am having a blast searching through all your recipes and making ingredient lists but my question is on your nutrition fact sheet at the end. Seems ridiculously high so not sure I am understanding. Is the nutrition listed for the whole cake, parfait, etc or for a single serving? Thank you and can not wait to report back on everything I try!
Hi Karen! I’m glad you like the recipes! The calorie content of this one is pretty high. What I’ve got listed is for 1 parfait, or 1/4 of the total recipe. You could reduce the calories and fat a lot by cutting back on the amount of the granola in each parfait (the recipe is pretty generous with the granola, so that’s pretty easy to do). This is the tool I use to calculate nutrition info: https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076 You can use it to figure out the nutrition infomation for a serving with less granola if you like. :)
