Preparation
- Step 1
Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and add the oatmeal. Toast, stirring or shaking the pan, until the oatmeal begins to color and smell toasty. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Stir into the yogurt along with 4 teaspoons of the honey or sugar, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
- Step 2
The next day, combine the berries, remaining honey or sugar, lime juice and balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced and the berries have cooked down to a jamlike consistency. Allow to cool. You should have about 1 cup of thick, jammy sauce.
- Step 3
Spoon or pipe ¼ cup of the yogurt/oatmeal mix into the bottom of each of 4 tumblers or parfait glasses. Top with 2 tablespoons of the berry sauce. Make another ¼ cup layer of yogurt on top of the berry sauce, and finish with another layer of berry sauce. Cover tightly and chill for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios over the top.
- Advance preparation: The assembled parfaits will hold in the refrigerator for a day. Sprinkle on the pistachios just before serving.

Not sure what "quick-cooking" steel cut oats are. Seems like an oxymoron to me. I made this with regular steel cut oats and it turned out great. The oats were chewy but not tough, and offered a nice textural contrast.
Quaker makes quick-cooking steel cut oats; they take 4 minutes at half power in the microwave. You should be able to find them next to the "old-fashioned" Quaker oats in your grocery store. They're very good.
It’s very light on the oatmeal so I recommend doubling the amount. I decreased the honey and it was still sweet.

I tried giving regular steel cuts a spin in the chopper. Careful not to over-toast the oats as the flavor will take over your dish. I made this mistake and the kids were not fans.
We enjoyed this for breakfast. Skipped balsamic ( I didn’t have the chutzpah ) and made the oat:yogurt ration closer to 1:1. We liked the extra texture with the oats. Also used frozen berries and it worked well in the recipe.
