Hello September! It feels odd to see you already — where did June, July, and August disappear to? Today you arrived hot and bright: 88°, humid, and summery. I love warm weather, so I’m happy to embrace it. One of the best things you’ve brought is fresh figs. Sweet, tender, and perfect for a parfait.
To celebrate, I’m naming figs the Ingredient of the Month on Sweet Potato Soul. I’ve lined up several fig-forward recipes, but let’s start with breakfast: a quick vegan fig parfait that’s both satisfying and simple.
This parfait layers creamy coconut vanilla yogurt with fig pumpkin granola and ripe Mission figs for a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. I used SoDelicious coconut vanilla yogurt and Purely Elizabeth’s fig pumpkin granola, but any vanilla coconut yogurt and a fig or pumpkin granola will work.
Beyond its great taste, this parfait is a fast, healthy vegan breakfast—ready in about two minutes. Figs add fiber and potassium, while coconut yogurt contributes beneficial probiotics and healthy fats. It’s an easy way to start the day on a nutritious note.
Welcome back, September. Thanks for the figs!
