Creamy probiotic yogurt topped with fresh winter berries and homemade spiced oat crunch with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
# What You'll Need:
→ Yogurt Base
01 - 2 cups plain probiotic yogurt, Greek or regular
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 such as 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 unsweetened 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 Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt. Pour in melted coconut oil and maple syrup, then stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispness.
02 - Divide plain yogurt evenly between two serving bowls, placing approximately 1 cup in each bowl. If using honey and vanilla extract, drizzle and swirl them into the yogurt until well incorporated.
03 - Distribute half of the prepared winter berries across the two bowls, dividing evenly. Sprinkle a generous portion of the cooled spiced crunch mixture over the berries in each bowl.
04 - Present the bowls immediately while the spiced crunch maintains its crispy texture. Offer additional spiced crunch on the side for those who prefer extra texture and flavor.
