    Apple cinnamon Greek yogurt granola is a quick, filling breakfast recipe that aligns with the Mediterranean diet. Maple syrup and creamy Greek yogurt provide a base for the crunchy granola and sweet apple chunks.

    I am obsessed with Greek yogurt breakfast bowls (like this protein yogurt fruit bowl made with apples and fresh berries). Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I like to start it off with something scrumptious, filling, and packed with energy.

    Fruit Yogurt Bowls

    Fresh fruit yogurt bowls are a healthy and quick breakfast. This tasty breakfast recipe reminds me of a cross between a cinnamon roll and a yogurt bowl. This easy breakfast works excellently with fruit substitutions, so if you have any ripe fruit needing to get eaten, swap it out for the apple!

    Ingredient Notes

    ingredients to make Greek yogurt granola bowls.
    • Plain Greek yogurt: I like fat-free Greek yogurt because it's great if you track macros or follow the Mediterranean diet. Greek yogurt is high in lean protein (1 cup has 25 grams of protein). Another great option is regular Greek yogurt or plain yogurt (like this homemade yogurt from scratch). You can use different types of yogurt, like vanilla Greek yogurt too !
    • Maple syrup: One of my favorite natural sweeteners is maple syrup! You can also use honey or agave nectar. I prefer a liquid sweetener to keep the yogurt smooth.
    • Apple: Choose from any kind- Cosmic Crisp, Honeycrisp, Gala, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady.
    • Granola: Experiment with different flavors of granola and find your favorite. I like how sweet and crunchy granola is.

    How To Make Yogurt Granola

    Mix the ground cinnamon and maple syrup into the Greek yogurt.

    Add the ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt to a bowl.

    Mix the greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

    Tips and Tricks

    • Make this greek yogurt granola bowl faster by preparing the yogurt layer and chopping the apple ahead of time. Store the granola and fruit separately from the yogurt so they don't get soggy.
    • Use regular yogurt if you don't have Greek yogurt on hand. Dairy-free yogurts, like coconut yogurt, are also optional.
    • Use homemade crunchy granola or store-bought granola.

    Variations and Substitutions

    • Make this a fruit parfait by adding the ingredients to mason jars.
    • Add your favorite toppings like chia seeds, hemp seeds, or crunchy homemade granola. Try different fruit berry combinations like this mixed berry honey greek yogurt bowl.
    • Experiment with different flavors of yogurt, like using vanilla yogurt instead of plain yogurt.
    • Add protein powder to the non-fat greek yogurt for a high protein breakfast.
