4.4 from 117 reviews

A delicious and nutritious Cranberry Yogurt Bowl combining creamy yogurt with tangy cranberry sauce, crunchy granola, and a variety of optional toppings like nuts, seeds, and fruit for a customizable breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup yogurt (Greek or regular, plain or vanilla)
  • ¼½ cup leftover cranberry sauce
  • ¼½ cup granola (homemade or store bought)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Teeny pinch of ground cinnamon (for sprinkling on top)
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachio, etc.)
  • Shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • Mini chocolate chips or a dollop of Nutella
  • Peanut butter or almond butter
  • Chia seeds or flax seeds
  • Fresh or dried fruit
  • Honey (optional, recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Grab your favorite flavor of yogurt and add it to a bowl. Plain, vanilla, and honey-flavored yogurts work well with the cranberry, but you can also opt for a fruit-flavored yogurt like lemon if you prefer.
  2. Add cranberry sauce: Spoon ¼ to ½ cup of leftover cranberry sauce into the yogurt and swirl it gently to combine, creating a marbled effect.
  3. Top with granola and cinnamon: Sprinkle ¼ to ½ cup of granola over the yogurt and cranberry mixture, then add a teeny pinch of ground cinnamon on top for flavor.
  4. Customize with extras: Round out your bowl by adding optional toppings such as nuts, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, nut butter, chia or flax seeds, fresh or dried fruits, and a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. Have fun with it and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any type of yogurt you like – Greek yogurt will make the bowl creamier and higher in protein.
  • Adjust the amount of cranberry sauce and granola to suit your taste and texture preference.
  • Optional toppings can be mixed and matched depending on what you have on hand or your dietary preferences.
  • This bowl makes a great quick breakfast, snack, or even a light dessert.
  • Using leftover cranberry sauce is a perfect way to reduce waste after holiday meals.
