The Amazing Nut House Fruity Yogurt With Cereal

My mother has always picked on me because I can’t just eat something simple, I always have to embellish it. Sure yogurt with fruit in it is good, but add a few extras and it is To Die For! This is so yummy that I eat it for breakfast or lunch and it makes a great dinner on a hot summer night. It has all the frills, but is so easy it can be a quick snack. This dish is also perfect as a desert or side “salad” for a picnic or potluck.

This recipe is for 1-2 servings, depending on what meal you are making this for I can easily eat this whole thing myself, or make it to serve a few of my kids for breakfast. It is also easy to multiply for guests, potlucks or for just because you want more of it, as well as customize for your own tastes.

You will need:

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups of Creamy or Blended Yogurt (not fruit on the bottom)
  • 1 Large Apple or Pear, pealed or unpeeled and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 Cup of  Plain Rolled Oats
  • 1/8 to 1/4 Cup of Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 Cup of Chopped Walnuts
  • 1/4 Cup Raisins or Dried Cranberries
  • Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg to taste

Optional Ingredients:

After cutting up the apples or pears and chopping the walnuts, mix everything together in a bowl. It is ready to serve!

I like to use different types of yogurt, sometimes plain, sometimes flavored. I have used both the large containers of yogurt as well as the smaller containers like Yoplait. Some have fruit chunks, some don’t. It is really up to you to decide what yogurt to use. For the most part, I like to use Vanilla or Plain. If I use the smaller containers with the fruit chunks, I omit the sweetener and cut down on the dried fruit.

This is another one of my recipes where it is easy to change things up from day to day. I never really need to make it the same way twice if I feel like a change.

Enjoy!
