Baked Yogurt

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love making baked yogurt because it uses simple ingredients and comes together with very little effort. The Greek yogurt gives it a rich and creamy texture while the berries add freshness and natural sweetness.

This recipe works perfectly for breakfast, dessert, meal prep, or a healthy snack. I also enjoy how easy it is to customize with different fruits, sweeteners, or toppings.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 cups Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cups berries, divided

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, I whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. I add the cornstarch and whisk again until fully combined with no lumps remaining.
4. I gently fold in 1 cup of the berries with a few light stirs.
5. I pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and scatter the remaining berries on top.
6. I bake the yogurt for about 45 minutes or until the center feels set and no longer jiggles.
7. Once baked, I remove it from the oven and let it cool almost completely before slicing.
8. I cut the baked yogurt into 9 squares and enjoy it as is or with extra maple syrup on top.

Variations

I sometimes swap the berries for diced peaches, cherries, or apples depending on the season. When I want extra texture, I add chopped nuts or granola on top before serving.

For a richer flavor, I occasionally mix in a little lemon zest or cinnamon. I also enjoy using flavored Greek yogurt for a slightly different taste.

storage/reheating

I store the baked yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It tastes delicious both cold and slightly warm.

To reheat, I warm individual slices in the microwave for about 15–20 seconds. I also enjoy eating it chilled straight from the fridge for a refreshing snack.

FAQs

I can use frozen berries, though I usually add them directly from frozen without thawing to prevent extra moisture.

What type of yogurt works best?

I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt because it creates the creamiest texture and richest flavor.

How do I know when baked yogurt is done?

I check that the center looks set and no longer jiggles when I gently move the baking dish.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

I often make it ahead because it stores very well in the refrigerator and tastes great chilled.

Is baked yogurt served hot or cold?

I enjoy it both ways. It tastes comforting slightly warm and refreshing when chilled.

Whether I serve it warm or cold, it always becomes a recipe I look forward to making again.
