# What You 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 including blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, and pomegranate seeds

→ Spiced Crunch

05 - ½ cup rolled oats, certified gluten-free if needed
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 mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup, stirring until all ingredients are well coated. Spread mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a cooling surface and allow to cool completely to achieve optimal crispness.
02 - Divide yogurt evenly between two serving bowls, using approximately 1 cup per bowl. Swirl in honey and vanilla extract if desired.
03 - Distribute half of the berries over each yogurt base. Add a generous portion of the cooled spiced crunch to each bowl.
04 - Present immediately, offering additional spiced crunch on the side if preferred.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but actually nourishes you, with live probiotics and real whole foods doing the heavy lifting.
  • The spiced crunch component is addictive enough that you'll find yourself making extra batches just to snack on it straight from the pan.
  • No cooking skill required, just ten minutes and you've got something that tastes like you've been fussing over breakfast for hours.
02 -
  • The crunch will soften as it sits in the yogurt, which is why serving immediately matters if you want that textural contrast; but honestly, even softened it tastes wonderful, so don't stress if you're eating this at your desk an hour later.
  • Making a double batch of spiced crunch is a quiet victory because you'll eat the extra plain as a snack, sprinkle it on afternoon yogurt, or find yourself standing at the counter with a handful while you're thinking through your day.
03 -
  • Room temperature yogurt tastes creamier and more luxurious than cold yogurt straight from the fridge, so consider pulling it out a few minutes before assembly.
  • Toast your spiced crunch the night before if you're making this for a busy morning; it actually crisps up even more as it cools, and you'll have one less step first thing.
