Yogurt Bowl with Winter Berries (Printable)

A nourishing breakfast featuring probiotic yogurt, mixed berries, and homemade spiced granola with warming cinnamon and ginger.

# What You'll Need:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 2 cups plain probiotic yogurt (Greek or regular, full-fat or low-fat)
02 - 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup (optional)
03 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

→ Winter Berries

04 - 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen winter berries (blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, pomegranate seeds)

→ Spiced Crunch

05 - ½ cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
06 - ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
07 - 2 tablespoons sunflower or pumpkin seeds
08 - 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
09 - 1½ tablespoons maple syrup or honey
10 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
11 - ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
13 - ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
14 - Pinch of sea salt

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup; stir to coat evenly. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely to crisp up.
02 - In each serving bowl, spoon 1 cup of yogurt. Swirl in honey and vanilla if using, mixing gently to incorporate.
03 - Top each bowl with half the mixed berries and a generous sprinkle of cooled spiced crunch. Serve immediately, with extra spiced crunch on the side if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between cold tangy yogurt and warm spiced crunch makes every bite interesting
  • It comes together in 20 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy breakfast spot
  • You can make a big batch of the crunch and keep it for quick breakfasts all week
02 -
  • The crunch keeps for weeks in an airtight container, so double the batch and save yourself time
  • Frozen berries actually work better than fresh in winter because they release more juice as they sit
  • Letting the granola cool completely is what makes it actually crunchy instead of just chewy
03 -
  • Watch the granola closely during the last few minutes because coconut flakes go from perfect to burned quickly
  • Use a Silpat instead of parchment if you have one, it makes cleanup even easier
