Greek Yogurt With Granola and Walnuts – Simple, Satisfying, and Crunchy

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Greek yogurt: Plain, unsweetened is best so you can control sweetness. Choose whole milk for creaminess or low-fat for a lighter option.
  • Granola: Any variety you like—classic oat, nutty, or lightly sweetened. Look for a version with minimal added sugar.
  • Walnuts: Raw or lightly toasted. Walnuts add a rich flavor and satisfying crunch.
  • Sweetener (optional): Honey, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of brown sugar if you want extra sweetness.
  • Fresh fruit (optional): Berries, sliced banana, apple, or pears work well.
  • Spices (optional): Cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for warmth.
  • Extras (optional): Chia seeds, flaxseed, shredded coconut, or a few dark chocolate chips.
  • Pinch of salt (optional): Enhances flavor, especially if your granola is low in sodium.

Method
 

  1. Start with the yogurt: Spoon 3/4 to 1 cup of Greek yogurt into a bowl. Stir it to loosen the texture.
  2. Sweeten to taste (optional): Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup and mix it in. Adjust based on the sweetness of your granola and fruit.
  3. Add the spices (optional): Sprinkle a small pinch of cinnamon or your favorite spice. Stir to combine.
  4. Layer the granola: Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of granola on top. Keep some for the final sprinkle to maintain crunch.
  5. Add walnuts: Roughly chop a small handful (about 2 tablespoons) of walnuts and scatter them over the granola.
  6. Top with fruit: Add a handful of fresh berries or slices of banana or apple. If using apple or pear, a light dusting of cinnamon works nicely.
  7. Finish with extras: Add chia seeds, a sprinkle of coconut, or a few dark chocolate chips. A tiny pinch of salt can make everything pop.
  8. Final touch: Add a last sprinkle of granola for crunch and a light drizzle of honey if needed. Serve immediately.
