Baked Greek Yogurt Ingredients

• Greek Yogurt: Essential to the recipe, low-fat Greek yogurt provides moisture, tangy flavor, and a creamy texture, keeping the dish rich and fluffy as it rises. You can use full-fat, low-fat, or dairy-free yogurt, though note that dairy-free versions typically have less protein, and depending on the brand, it might require a longer bake time.
• Eggs: The key binding ingredient that holds everything together, keeping the baked yogurt recipe light and fluffy. Eggs cannot be substituted, as they provide the necessary structure for the bake.
• Almond Flour: A gluten-free, low-carb option that adds a slightly nutty flavor and helps maintain moisture in the dish. If you'd like to experiment, you could try gluten-free baking flour, oat flour or whole wheat flour. I do not recommend coconut flour.
• Mixed Berries: Adds natural sweetness, bright color, and fruity flavor. You can use fresh or frozen berries—if using frozen, thaw and pat them dry to remove excess moisture before adding them to the batter. Feel free to swap berries for other fruits you enjoy!

Variations & Dietary Modifications

• Sweeten it Up: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding honey, maple syrup, sugar, or a low-calorie sweetener.
• More Mix-Ins: Add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor to the breakfast dish.
• No Baked Fruit: If you prefer a smooth yogurt bake, simply omit the fruit and top with freshly chopped fruit after baking.
• Nut-Free Version: For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour with gluten-free baking flour, oat flour or whole wheat flour.

How To Make Baked Yogurt

With just 6 ingredients and less than an hour, you can whip up this snack for the whole week! To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F, line an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, gather your ingredients, and follow the 4 steps below.

Step 1: Make the Batter. Whisk the yogurt, eggs, almond flour, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until creamy and smooth.

Step 2: Add the Berries. Gently fold in the mixed berries until evenly distributed.

Step 3: Transfer and Bake. Slowly pour the batter into the lined baking dish and bake at 350°F for 36-38 minutes, or until firm in the center.

Step 4: Cool, Slice and Serve. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. Then, slice, garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Choose Your Favorite Yogurt: The beauty of this recipe is that any Greek yogurt works, so feel free to use your favorite! Since there’s no added sugar, plain yogurt may have a slightly tart flavor. For a sweeter option, you can use flavored yogurt or sweeten the mixture with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
• Bakes Until Firm: Ovens vary in temperature, so be sure the bake is firm before removing it. The baking time may also be impacted by the type of yogurt or flour you use, so keep an eye on the consistency.
• Let It Sit After Baking: For the best results, don’t slice the baked Greek yogurt right after baking. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes at room temperature to allow it to fully set and make slicing easier.
• Storing: Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze it in individual portions for up to 2 months (see FAQs for more details). To reheat, simply microwave, or warm it in a toaster oven or oven at 300°F until heated through.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy this Greek yogurt bake as a protein-packed snack or as part of a balanced breakfast. While a slice of this yogurt bake is delicious on its own, I recommend pairing it with a meal that includes at least 20 grams of protein for a complete, nutritious start to your day. Here are some great ideas for what to serve alongside it:

• After baking, top the yogurt bake with granola, a drizzle of almond butter, or extra fresh berries for added crunch and flavor. For extra texture, try a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of coconut flakes.
• Make this part of your meal prep by pairing it with other healthy meal prep recipes for a convenient, nutritious week ahead..
• Create a well-rounded breakfast by serving alongside a high protein English muffin breakfast sandwich or this savory breakfast butternut squash.
