Breakfast Fruit Yogurt Bake

This Breakfast Fruit and Yogurt Bake is my go-to for busy mornings or when I want something wholesome yet just sweet enough to feel like a treat. The dish brings together creamy Greek yogurt, juicy fresh berries, a hint of vanilla, and a touch of honey, all baked into a sliceable breakfast that feels warm and comforting. It is perfect for meal prepping or feeding a hungry family after a slow weekend wakeup.

My kids cheer whenever I pull this out of the oven and I love that I can whip it together before coffee is even ready.

Ingredients

• Plain Greek yogurt: gives protein and creaminess Look for full fat for best texture and flavor
• Large eggs: help the bake set and keep it fluffy Use fresh eggs for the brightest result
• Raw honey or pure maple syrup: gently sweetens without refined sugar Choose the one you prefer for a slightly different taste
• Oat flour or finely ground oats: provide structure and a subtle nutty note You can pulse whole oats in a blender as a quick way to make your own
• Vanilla extract: adds a comforting bakery aroma Opt for real vanilla if possible for richer flavor
• Mixed fresh berries: bring color and juicy bites Choose whatever berries are in season for the sweetest results

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat and Prep:

Heat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8 by 8 inch baking dish with coconut oil to prevent sticking and give a slight tropical aroma

Mix the Batter:

In a large bowl combine Greek yogurt eggs honey oat flour and vanilla Whisk slowly until you have a smooth thick mixture without streaks

Add the Berries:

Gently fold in your mixed berries with a spatula to keep them from getting crushed The batter should have pops of color throughout

Fill the Dish:

Pour or scoop the batter into the prepared baking dish spreading it to the corners Top with a few extra berries for a pretty finish if you like

Bake:

Place the dish on the center oven rack Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes You want the middle to look set and not jiggle much when you shake the pan

Cool and Serve:

Let the bake cool completely in the pan before slicing The cooling helps it firm up for clean slices Serve with a dollop of extra yogurt a drizzle of honey and more fresh fruit if you wish

My favorite part is how the vanilla and berry aroma fills the kitchen as it bakes I made this for my mom on Mother’s Day and the leftovers were just as good for afternoon snacking

Storage Tips

Let leftovers cool fully before wrapping tightly in plastic wrap or placing in an airtight container Store in the refrigerator for up to three days Warm slices briefly in the microwave if you like a softer texture

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap oat flour for almond flour for an extra nutty twist If you are out of Greek yogurt strained regular yogurt works but the texture will be slightly lighter Frozen berries can work if you thaw and drain them well before adding

Serving Suggestions

This bake is delicious on its own but I love it with a dollop of coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of extra berries Kids like it with a splash of chocolate chips Adults might enjoy a dash of cinnamon or toasted seeds on top
