03 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

→ Winter Berries

04 - 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen winter berries including blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, and pomegranate seeds

10 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
11 - ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
13 - ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup, stirring until all ingredients are evenly coated. Spread mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up.
02 - Divide plain probiotic yogurt equally between two serving bowls, using approximately 1 cup per bowl. If desired, swirl in honey and vanilla extract into each bowl.
03 - Distribute half of the mixed berries onto each yogurt bowl. Top generously with spiced crunch mixture.
04 - Serve bowls immediately while crunch retains its texture. Offer additional spiced crunch on the side if desired.
