Tips & Variations

  • Use any combination of berries or fresh fruit you like for a customized flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, try using coconut yogurt and adjust baking time slightly.
  • Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the flavor.
  • Serve warm or chilled depending on your preference.

Storage

Store leftover baked yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy cold. The texture may thicken after chilling, which is normal.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and provides the best texture for this recipe. Using regular yogurt may result in a thinner, less firm baked dish.

How do I know when the baked yogurt is done?

The center should be set and no longer jiggle when you gently shake the pan. It will firm up more as it cools.

Description

This Baked Yogurt recipe offers a creamy, protein-packed dessert or snack that combines Greek yogurt, eggs, and maple syrup, baked to a delicate custard-like texture and accented with fresh berries. It’s an easy, wholesome treat that balances sweetness with tangy freshness and works perfectly for breakfast or a guilt-free treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Fruit

  • 1 1/2 cups berries (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Next, add the cornstarch to the bowl and whisk again until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
  3. Add berries and transfer: Fold in 1 cup of the berries gently, just enough to distribute them without breaking them apart. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of berries over the top to add visual appeal and bursts of fruit flavor.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. The baked yogurt is done when the center is set and no longer jiggly to the touch, resembling a firm custard.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool almost completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut into 9 equal slices. Serve as is or drizzle with extra maple syrup for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey for a different natural sweetness.
  • When folding in berries, be gentle to avoid crushing them and turning the batter purple.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on oven variations; check for a set center.
  • This dessert can be served warm or chilled according to preference.
