Yogurt Bowl Winter Berries Spiced Crunch (Printable)

Creamy probiotic yogurt meets sweet winter berries and aromatic cinnamon-ginger oat crunch for a cozy breakfast.

# Required Ingredients:

→ 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 including blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, and 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 mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup, stirring until all components are evenly coated. Spread mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely to achieve maximum crispness.
02 - Divide yogurt evenly between two serving bowls, using 1 cup per bowl. If using honey and vanilla, gently swirl them into the yogurt to create a marbled effect.
03 - Top each yogurt bowl with half of the prepared winter berries. Sprinkle a generous portion of the cooled spiced crunch mixture over the berries on each bowl.
04 - Serve immediately while the crunch maintains its texture. Offer additional spiced crunch on the side for those who prefer extra topping.
