Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crunchy granola (preferably oat-based)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (for the crust)
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat recommended)
- 2 tablespoons honey (for the filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the granola, melted butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and sea salt. Mix until the granola is evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring the crust goes up the sides. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Step 2: Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack—this step is crucial for the crust to set and become crunchy. While cooling, prepare the creamy filling.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
- Step 4: Once the granola crust is completely cool, gently spoon the yogurt filling into the crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom without disturbing the crust structure.
- Step 5: Arrange the mixed fresh berries and other desired fruit decoratively over the top of the yogurt filling. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the filling to firm up slightly.
Notes
- Store leftover slices loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; note that the granola crust will slowly soften after the first day due to the yogurt filling.
- This tart is always served chilled, but for the cleanest possible slice, let the tart rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Enhance the breakfast appeal by serving each slice with a gentle drizzle of high-quality maple syrup or a small side of toasted nuts for extra texture.
- To guarantee a superior crunch, ensure your Greek yogurt is ultra-thick and low in moisture, as this prevents the filling from weeping into the baked granola crust.
