Berry Baked Yogurt

Published on May 7, 2024 by Stephanie Kay

This 6-ingredient berry baked yogurt is gluten-free, high in protein, low in calories, and absolutely delicious. Not only is it easy to make but it’s a kid-approved recipe you can enjoy as a healthy breakfast or sweet snack.

If you’ve never made a yogurt bake, you are certainly not alone. I kept seeing baked cottage cheese and baked yogurt recipes all over social media, so I decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint. In fact, it has a very similar consistency and texture to flan, which is an Italian dessert made from condensed milk and sugar, fortunately, this recipe is much healthier.

While it may seem a little odd at first, the combination of Greek yogurt and eggs bakes into a light and fluffy mixture with a creamy texture that is delicious and strangely additive. So, if you’re looking for a new healthy snack or toddler-friendly breakfast, give this easy berry baked yogurt a try.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Minimal Ingredients – Made with 6 ingredients, this baked yogurt recipe is very easy to make.
  • High in Protein – The combination of Greek yogurt and eggs ensures that each serving contains 10 grams of protein.
  • Great for Meal Prep – This berry yogurt bake keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days which makes it great for make-ahead breakfasts or snacks.
  • Kid Friendly – This recipe works well as a simple breakfast or healthy snack for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients for berry yogurt bake: Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup or honey, cornstarch, and frozen berries.

Ingredients + Substitutions

  • Greek Yogurt – I used plain Greek yogurt in my recipe to ensure the baked yogurt is high in protein without added sugar, however, you can use regular yogurt or vanilla yogurt if preferred.
  • Eggs – To add a boost of protein and some healthy fats.
  • Berries – To add some color and fiber. I used frozen berries, but fresh berries work just as well.
  • Maple Syrup – To add a hint of sweetness to the yogurt bake, you can use honey or omit it completely if desired.
  • Vanilla Extract – To add flavor and fragrance, vanilla essence will also work. Although the recipe doesn’t call for it, adding a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom powder to the yogurt mixture would add some nice flavor as well.
  • Cornstarch – To thicken and bind the baked yogurt. I used cornstarch, but tapioca flour, arrowroot powder, oat flour, or almond flour would also work well.

Dietary Adaptions

To Make it Gluten-Free: Be sure to use certified gluten-free cornstarch.

To Make it Dairy-Free: This recipe cannot be made dairy-free.

How to Make Baked Yogurt

  1. Mix the ingredients. Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cornstarch to a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
  2. Fill a baking pan. Pout the yogurt mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  3. Add the berries. Dollop the top of the yogurt mixture with berries.
  4. Baked until set. Transfer the baking dish to an oven preheated to 350°F and bake for 35-40 minutes until the sides are browned and the center is set.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

The detailed instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

Red’s Nutrition Tip

Although I used Greek yogurt in the recipe and it’s often touted as being the “healthiest” yogurt, that is not the case. The difference between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt is simply Greek yogurt is strained to remove excess liquid whey and lactose, which creates a thicker-textured yogurt that is slightly higher in protein. All forms of plain yogurt are healthy choices and can be used in this recipe, the “best” choice simply comes down to personal preference.

Can you make this in individual portions?

Yes! This baked yogurt also works well as single-serving desserts or snacks. To turn it into individual portions, grease 4-ounce ramekins, then prepare the yogurt mixture as per the instructions, pour it into the greased ramekins, dollop with berries, and then bake in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

This berry baked yogurt is a great source of protein and healthy fats and makes a wonderful snack on its own. If you want to eat it for breakfast and ensure it’s a balanced meal, I would suggest serving it with a side of complex carbohydrates, such as a small bowl of oatmeal and whole-grain toast.

Storage

Once cooled, transfer the berry yogurt bake to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

      This was simple and easy and satisfying like a healthy custard – at first I thought it needed more time cooking because it was a bit “ jiggly “ in the center but left it to cool and it turned firm in the middle about 45 minutes later- hubby liked it s so we will make it again

      Do you eat this hot or cold? How do you eat leftovers?

        It’s designed to be eaten cold. It needs to cool completely after baking and can then be eaten, and leftovers can be stored in the fridge. 🙂

      Hi Stephanie, I absolutely loved this! Perfect way to satisfy a sweet craving with something nutrient dense. Do you think it would work if I replaced the tapioca starch with a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost the total protein per serve even higher?

        I’ve not tested it, so I’m no sure, but most likely not as it does not thicken and solidify things like tapioca/cornstarch.

      Can this be made with egg whites instead of full eggs? I have a ton left over from making lemon curd and would love an easy recipe to use them up in!

        I suppose you could, but I wouldn’t recommend it. The fat from the yokes really helps to enhance the flavor.

        That said, egg whites makes great meringue, if you’re looking for an idea. 🙂

      If you use frozen berries do you bake it longer.
