Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is a breeze. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen works too!)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional, but it adds a lovely warmth)
- A handful of granola or crushed nuts for topping (optional)
If you don’t have fresh blueberries on hand, frozen ones work just as fine. And if you’re out of honey, feel free to substitute with maple syrup or even agave nectar. The key here is flexibility, just like how my mom used to make magic with whatever was in the pantry.
Instructions
Let’s dive into the fun part—making the yogurt!
- Start by washing your blueberries thoroughly. If using frozen blueberries, give them a quick rinse to thaw them slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until everything is well mixed.
- Add in the blueberries and a pinch of cinnamon. Fold them into the yogurt gently to avoid squishing the berries too much.
- Once everything is combined, taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Sometimes, I find myself adding a bit more honey, especially if the kids are in the mood for something sweeter.
- Spoon the yogurt into serving bowls and top with granola or crushed nuts for a bit of crunch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
This recipe is forgiving and encourages you to tweak it to your taste—just like my dad’s stories, which always had a new twist!
