Yogurt Bowl with Honey, Walnuts, and Pomegranate
My wholesome Mediterranean-inspired yogurt bowl recipe is very much a case of opposites attract! It’s a simple four-ingredient dish consisting of Greek yogurt, walnuts, pomegranate, and honey. It’s crunchy and creamy. There’s a sweetness to balance the tang, and every mouthful is delightfully refreshing!
Ingredients to Assemble
To make this easy yogurt bowl, you’ll only need the following (per yogurt bowl):
- Yogurt – 1 cup Greek Yogurt (full-fat)
- Honey – 2 tbsp honey
- Walnuts – 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
- Pomegranate – 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
This recipe is inspired by a dish commonly served/eaten in Greece – yogurt with honey and walnuts, sometimes with cinnamon and/or vanilla.
Instructions with Photos
Step 1 – Toast the chopped walnuts.
Stovetop Method: You can toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium-high heat, toasting the walnuts for about 4-5 minutes. Stir frequently so they don’t burn.
Oven Method: Alternatively, toast the walnuts in the preheated oven at 375°F (or 190°C) for about 6-8 minutes, keeping a close eye on them so they don’t burn.
Once toasted, set them aside on a cold plate or surface to cool down before adding them to the yogurt bowl.
Step 2 – If using a whole pomegranate (like I am), get the seeds out. There are multiple methods for it. I find that the easiest method is cutting in half (in the middle) and then using a wooden spoon to beat on the outside of the pomegranate lightly so the seeds come out.
Alternatively, you can cut the pomegranate alongside the 5-6 ridges it has and gently opening the sections. Then, use the wooden spoon to lightly beat on the outside of each section. This method is neater because all the seeds are intact after getting them out!
Step 3 – Add 1 cup of Greek yogurt to a small bowl. Top with walnuts, pomegranate seeds, and honey.
Look how beautiful they are! I served mine in these gorgeous little bowls.
There’s a really satisfying creamy-to-crunch ratio going on in this dish! Plus, the sweetness of the honey really helps balance the tang of the Greek yogurt.
This is great for all times of day. I find this works so well for breakfast, especially if you de-seed the pomegranate the night before to save a little time.
These four ingredients are really all you need for a balanced, flavorful bite. However, as it’s a yogurt bowl, you can have fun and add extra toppings to make it your own.
