Ingredients
- 2 cups non-fat, plain or vanilla Greek yogurt - about 1 cup for each bowl if you love a sweeter breakfast, try Oikos Vanilla Bean Greek Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 medium or large pear, cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, or more per your preference
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Dice a medium or large pear into small, bite-sized cubes. Leave skin on for added fiber or peel using a vegetable peeler (your preference).
- In a small skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add diced pear, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup. Add the chopped pecans. Sauté for 3–5 minutes until pears are soft and caramelized.
- Spoon Greek yogurt into two bowls. Top with warm cinnamon pears and chopped pecans
- To store: Once the pears are exposed to air, they will start to brown. Eat one bowl the day that you make it and then stir the pears into the other bowl for the next morning (so they aren't exposed to air).
Notes
- My favorite way to eat this bowl is cold, the next day, topped with chia seeds and white chocolate chips.
- To add even more flavor, you could sprinkle the bowl with brown sugar!
- For a dairy-free option, use a higher protein plant-based yogurt like Kite Hill Greek style and a plant-based butter.
