  6. Repeat the layering until the jar is full, finishing with a final layer of granola.
  7. Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate overnight.
  8. In the morning, give each parfait a gentle stir, top with fresh berries or extra granola if desired, and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Notes

Store the parfaits in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add granola fresh in the morning to keep it crunchy. Reheat not required; let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if you prefer a warmer texture.
