Yogurt Bowl Winter Berries Spiced Crunch (Printable)

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

# 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 such as blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, or pomegranate seeds

→ Spiced Crunch

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

# How To Make It:

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 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 optimal crispness.
02 - Divide yogurt evenly between two serving bowls, using 1 cup per bowl. Swirl in honey and vanilla extract if using, creating gentle marble patterns throughout.
03 - Distribute half of the berries over each yogurt bowl and add a generous sprinkle of spiced crunch topping to each serving.
04 - Serve immediately while the yogurt is cold and the spiced crunch remains crisp. Offer additional spiced crunch on the side for those preferring extra texture and flavor.
