Yogurt Granola Bowls for Your Next Brunch
If you’ve seen our August/September issue, you’ll know about the fragrant and delicious pastel luncheon you can throw this summer to celebrate someone special, whether it’s a bridal shower or birthday party. Along with her farm-fresh florals, author and blogger Courtney Whitmore of Pizzazzerie loves to serve yogurt granola bowls at brunches and luncheons.
“They’re always a hit!” says Courtney. “You can either pre-plate them or set up a festive yogurt bowl bar and let guests build their own.” Choose your favorite fruits, and don’t be afraid to add a few edible florals to the edges of serving plates or even across the tabletop.
Yogurt Granola Bowls
Ingredients:
- Vanilla greek yogurt
- Sliced mango
- Sliced strawberries
- Blueberries
- Pomegranate arils
- Raspberries
- Sweetened coconut flakes
- Edible flower petals
Directions:
- Fill your yogurt granola bowls with vanilla Greek yogurt, leaving enough room for the granola and fruit.
- Add the granola first to provide a base.
- Layer on the fruits, keeping each in its own section. This gives the yogurt granola bowls a gradient of color like a rainbow. Try to set the fruits like raspberries that weigh more around the edges of the bowl so they don’t sink to the bottom, or place them nearer the granola.
- Optional: Sprinkle coconut flakes and edible flowers on top to add a unique touch. Courtney says a dab of mint would also do the trick.
Pair your yogurt granola bowls with an array of fresh flowers, sugary cinnamon rolls and place settings to wow your guests.
