A nourishing breakfast bowl with probiotic yogurt, mixed berries, and a warm spiced oat-nut topping for cozy mornings.

# 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
03 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Winter Berries

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

→ Spiced Crunch

05 - ½ cup rolled oats, 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

# Directions:

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 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and 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 flavors.
03 - Top each bowl with half the mixed winter berries and a generous sprinkle of the cooled spiced crunch. Serve immediately, with extra spiced crunch on the side if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The homemade spiced crunch puts store-bought granola to shame and makes your kitchen smell incredible
  • You can prep everything the night before and assemble in under two minutes for busy mornings
02 -
  • The spiced crunch needs to cool completely before you store it, otherwise it'll steam itself soft in the container
  • Frozen berries will release more liquid as they sit, so assemble just before serving if you want that perfect contrast
03 -
  • Watch the spiced crunch like a hawk in the last two minutes, because coconut flakes go from golden to burnt quickly
  • Toast your nuts in a dry pan before adding them to the mix, which deepens their flavor and adds another layer of complexity
