When Saturday brunch looks this good I like to fast-forward to the weekend ~ Greek Yogurt Bowl with Maple Roasted Stone Fruit & Cardamom Pistachio Granola. But, this bowl isn’t what it may appear to be at first glance…
That’s because it’s 100% vegan! Yep, vegan Greek yogurt made from almond milk. If you are dairy-free, lactose intolerant, or vegan, this bowl is for you.
Or if you enjoy traditional Greek yogurt, roll on with the dairy.
This hearty brekkie bowl has 11 grams of plant-y protein (and no added sugar in the plain greek!). Not to mention the protein from the oats and nuts in the granola.
Make this recipe once and you can have quick breakfasts all week long. You can make the granola and keep in a jar (this recipe below yields over three cups). And with the fruit you can roast a double batch and keep in the fridge to have on hand.
For the yogurt in this bowl I like to use my favorite dairy-alternative yogurt, Kite Hill Greek. Usually I choose the plain unsweet, but they have other flavors as well.
For the fruit in this recipe I went with is pluot and peach. What’s a pluot, you ask?? It’s a hybrid of an apricot and a plum (mostly plum).
If you’re not a fan of peaches or plums you can sub other fruit you like.
Other summer fruit that works well here:
- apricots
- berries
- cherries
- figs
- grapes
- plums
- nectarines
In the winter months you can use pears and apples, and year round you can always find pineapple and mango in the markets. Or use frozen berries year round as well.
Make a big batch of granola for breakfast in a hurry
The granola is a one-bowl easy recipe. If you’ve never made granola at home I promise it is well worth the effort. This recipe has a Middle-Eastern flavor with the cardamom, pistachios and granola. If you aren’t a fan of cardamom you can just add extra cinnamon. And feel free to sub another nut for the pistachios.
You can also add seeds such as sunflower, chia, flax or pumpkin seeds.
Either way you make it, it’s great to have a batch of granola on hand for quick five-minute breakfasts when you’re in a hurry.
Regardless of the fruit or granola ingredients you use, this homemade breakfast bowl may just be your new fave way to spend Saturday mornings!
This is bowl is packed with healthy plant protein
