• Remove the ginger and mix half of the syrup into the Greek yogurt; reserve the rest for drizzling on the fruit.
• Divide the kiwis, mangoes and papayas among 6 small wide-mouthed glasses or parfait glasses. Drizzle with the reserved syrup. Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt.
• For the granola: Toast the oats in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until light brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• In the same skillet, melt the butter with the maple syrup, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Add the oats back to the skillet along with the almonds and coconut; toss to coat. Serve the granola over the parfaits.
