Creamy yogurt layered with tart winter berries and cinnamon-ginger spiced granola crunch for a warming breakfast.

# 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, or 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

# How To Make:

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 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 on the baking sheet to achieve full crispness.
02 - Divide yogurt evenly between two serving bowls, using approximately 1 cup per bowl. If desired, swirl honey and vanilla extract into each portion of yogurt.
03 - Top each yogurt portion with half of the mixed berries. Distribute the cooled spiced crunch generously over the berries in each bowl.
04 - Present immediately while the crunch retains its texture. Offer additional spiced crunch on the side if desired.
