For assembling the yogurt cups

1 batch peach or blueberry compote
Large container plain Greek or regular yogurt*
Almond Coconut Chia Seed Granola or your favorite store bought varietyfor serving (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the peach or blueberry compote (or both if desired!):
Place the fruit in a small sauce pan. Add the maple syrup, water, and cornstarch and stir until combined. Cook over medium heat until the fruit has softened slightly and the sauce has thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Cool completely.
Assemble the yogurt cups:
Place 2 tablespoons of the fruit compote in the bottom of each jar. Top with about 4 ounces of plain yogurt and place the lids on each one. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Top with granola when ready to eat, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
*It's important to use plain yogurt to minimize the amount of sugar since the compote is sweetened. If you like a sweeter compote, simply add another tablespoon or so of sweetener.
You should have some extra compote leftover, which is great for oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream!
