# What You'll Need:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 2 cups plain probiotic yogurt, 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, 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 sea salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup, stirring until all ingredients 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 to achieve optimal crispness.
02 - Divide yogurt evenly between two serving bowls, placing approximately 1 cup in each bowl. Gently swirl honey and vanilla extract into each portion if using.
03 - Top each yogurt bowl with half of the mixed berries and distribute spiced crunch generously over the surface of each portion.
04 - Present immediately while the crunch remains crispy, offering additional spiced crunch on the side for those desiring extra texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes 10 minutes from start to bowl, so even rushed mornings feel manageable and unhurried.
  • The spiced crunch stays crispy for days, meaning you can prep ahead and feel like you've got your life together.
  • Every spoonful delivers real nutrition without tasting like you're being good—it genuinely tastes indulgent.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step for your spiced crunch—I learned this the expensive way by eating a warm clump instead of crispy clusters.
  • If you make the crunch ahead, store it in an airtight container and it'll stay crunchy for nearly a week, which means breakfast becomes almost effortless.
03 -
  • Toast your spiced crunch in batches and keep several containers going—you'll find yourself reaching for it in unexpected ways, stirred into other yogurts or eaten by the handful as a snack.
  • If your coconut oil refuses to melt, warm it gently in a small pan first; cold oil won't distribute evenly and you'll end up with dry bits.
