Prepare the Oats
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix the Yogurt
In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Assemble the Parfaits
In four glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of the yogurt mixture at the bottom. Next, layer in a spoonful of the cooked oats followed by a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt and a handful of berries on top.
Add Toppings
Sprinkle each parfait with a teaspoon of bee pollen, chopped nuts, and a dash of cinnamon if desired.
