Description
This Warm Peach Crisp Yogurt Bowl is a quick and comforting breakfast or snack featuring tender, cinnamon-spiced peaches served over creamy high-protein vanilla yogurt, topped with crunchy gluten-free granola. The skillet-cooked peaches release their natural juices, creating a delicious sauce that soaks into the yogurt for a delightful blend of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- Olive oil or coconut oil spray, for cooking
- 1 ripe peach, pitted, peeled, and diced
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar or monk fruit sweetener
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
Base
- 1 cup high-protein vanilla yogurt (such as Oikos Pro)
Topping
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free granola
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat and lightly spray it with olive oil or coconut oil to prevent sticking and enhance cooking.
- Cook the peaches: Add the diced peaches, brown sugar (or monk fruit sweetener), and cinnamon to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cover the skillet and cook until the peaches become soft, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Let peaches rest: Remove the skillet from heat but keep it covered. Allow the peaches to sit for 2 to 3 minutes so juices can be released, then uncover and let them cool for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Assemble the bowl: Spoon the high-protein vanilla yogurt into a shallow bowl and gently flatten the surface with the back of a spoon.
- Add toppings: Spoon the warm peaches with their juices over the yogurt, then sprinkle evenly with gluten-free granola to finish. Enjoy immediately for the best contrast between warm peaches and cool yogurt.
Notes
- Peel the peach easily by blanching it in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging it into ice water before peeling.
- Use monk fruit sweetener instead of brown sugar for a lower-calorie, diabetic-friendly option.
- Make sure the yogurt is chilled before assembling to keep a pleasing temperature contrast in the bowl.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute yogurt with a high-protein plant-based vanilla yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of granola to your preference or substitute with nuts for extra crunch and nutrition.
