Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bark with Pistachios

This breakfast bark was created during a hot summer in Athens when I was looking for a cool, protein-rich breakfast option. Inspired by frozen yogurt and the Greek tradition of yogurt with honey, I developed this bark as a make-ahead breakfast that can be grabbed straight from the freezer. The combination of tangy yogurt, honey, and nuts echoes traditional Greek flavors in a modern, convenient format.

Ingredients

• 3 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup almonds, sliced
• 1/3 cup dried apricots, diced
• 1/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Sprinkle the pistachios, almonds, dried fruits, seeds, and lemon zest evenly over the yogurt.
5. Gently press the toppings into the yogurt to ensure they stick.
6. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using.
7. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight until completely firm.
8. Once frozen, break or cut the bark into pieces.
9. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
10. Allow to thaw for 1-2 minutes before eating for the best texture.

Recipe Notes

• Try different topping combinations like walnuts and figs or hazelnuts and orange zest.
• For a sweeter version, drizzle with additional honey just before freezing.
• Add a layer of granola for extra crunch and fiber.
• Individual portions can be wrapped in parchment paper for grab-and-go breakfasts.
