Yogurt Bowl with Winter Berries (Print Version)

Creamy probiotic yogurt topped with fresh winter berries and homemade spiced oat-nut crunch with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

# What You'll Need:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 2 cups plain probiotic yogurt, Greek or regular style
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 including blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, or pomegranate seeds

→ Spiced Crunch

05 - ½ cup rolled oats, certified gluten-free if required
06 - ¼ cup chopped 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

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup, stirring until all ingredients are evenly coated. Spread mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool completely to achieve desired crispness.
02 - Divide yogurt equally between serving bowls, using approximately 1 cup per bowl. Swirl in honey and vanilla extract if desired.
03 - Distribute berries evenly across each yogurt bowl and add a generous portion of cooled spiced crunch to each serving.
04 - Present bowls immediately while the crunch remains crisp. Offer additional spiced crunch on the side if preferred.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent enough to feel like a treat but actually fuels you for hours without the sugar crash.
  • The spiced crunch stays crispy even when it hits the yogurt, which is the little detail that makes all the difference.
02 -
  • If you add the spiced crunch too early, it softens into the yogurt, so save some for right before you eat it unless you actually prefer it that way.
  • Frozen berries work beautifully and sometimes taste better than out-of-season fresh ones, so don't feel bad about using them.
03 -
  • Make your spiced crunch on Sunday and you'll have it waiting for you all week, which is the kind of small decision that actually changes whether you eat well or not.
  • If your berries are very tart, the honey in the yogurt base really matters, so don't skip it just because it's optional.
