How to Make a Raspberry Honey Yogurt Bowl
Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt
Spoon the yogurt into a bowl and gently smooth the surface with the back of your spoon.
Step 2: Add the Raspberries
Scatter the raspberries over the yogurt. If using frozen berries, let them sit for a minute so they soften slightly and release their juices.
Step 3: Add the Crunch
Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top. Add raisins or dried berries if using.
Step 4: Finish with Honey
Drizzle honey over everything, then sprinkle with crushed cereal or biscuit crumbs for extra texture.
Step 5: Serve
Enjoy right away while the granola is crunchy and the yogurt is cold.

Helpful Tips
- Greek yogurt gives a thicker, creamier bowl, while regular yogurt keeps it lighter.
- If your raspberries are very tart, add a little extra honey.
- For a jam-like texture, warm frozen raspberries for 10 seconds before adding them.
- Add crunchy toppings just before serving to keep them crisp.

How to Serve
This yogurt bowl is best served fresh. It’s great alongside a hot cup of coffee, packed into a jar for work or school, or enjoyed as a light dessert when you want something sweet but simple.

Is this safe for picky eaters?

Yes. Freeze in portioned containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
What tools are must-haves?
A medium to large skillet, a good knife, and a wooden spoon are the essentials. A simple thermometer helps for cooking proteins safely.
