Description
This Greek Yogurt Bake is a high-protein, low-effort breakfast dish that combines creamy Greek yogurt with fresh berries. Lightly sweetened and slightly tangy from the yogurt, it offers a delicious, ‘fancy but easy’ option perfect for busy mornings or a healthy snack. Baked to a soft, custard-like texture with a golden edge, it is both comforting and nutritious.
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tbsp sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, honey, or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or coconut flour
Fruit
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups Greek yogurt, 4 large eggs, 4 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, honey, or maple syrup), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch or coconut flour to the wet mixture. Whisk again until the batter is lump-free and slightly thickened, ensuring a creamy consistency.
- Fold in the Berries: Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups blueberries. If using frozen berries, add them directly without thawing to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Pour and Smooth: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are lightly golden. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled, optionally dusted with powdered sweetener or topped with extra berries for garnish.
Notes
- You can substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries or blackberries for variety.
- For a grain-free option, choose coconut flour instead of cornstarch.
- If you prefer a sweeter bake, increase the sweetener slightly according to taste.
- Fresh berries will add less moisture than frozen, which might affect baking time slightly.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat gently before serving if desired.
