Fresh Strawberry Compote Yogurt (Printable Version)

Luscious strawberry compote atop creamy Greek yogurt with crunchy nuts and honey drizzle for a refreshing treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Strawberry Compote

01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Yogurt Bowls

05 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
06 - 2 tablespoons honey
07 - 1/4 cup chopped mixed nuts
08 - 1/4 cup granola
09 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish

# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until strawberries soften and release their juices, approximately 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly.
02 - Divide Greek yogurt evenly among four serving bowls. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon honey over each yogurt portion. Spoon warm or cooled strawberry compote over yogurt. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and granola. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional honey drizzle.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The compote takes ten minutes and tastes like you spent an hour in the kitchen, which is the kind of kitchen magic we all need on a busy morning.
  • It works as breakfast when you're hungry or as dessert when you want something that feels indulgent but actually isn't.
02 -
  • If your strawberries aren't very flavorful, the whole bowl falls flat, so taste one before you commit—if it tastes like nothing, add an extra half teaspoon of lemon juice to the compote to wake everything up.
  • Don't cook the strawberries too long or they'll turn into jam instead of compote; you want them soft but still recognizable as fruit.
03 -
  • Cook the strawberries uncovered so the liquid reduces and the flavor becomes more concentrated instead of watery.
  • Buy strawberries at a farmers market when they're in season if you can; the difference between those and supermarket berries is honestly night and day.
