Description
A simple and delicious Date Yogurt Bowl featuring caramelized Medjool dates served over creamy Greek yogurt, lightly spiced with cinnamon and enhanced with a drizzle of olive oil and flaky sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
Dates
- 2 Medjool dates, halved and pitted
- 1 tablespoon butter
Base and Toppings
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- Pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Caramelize the Dates: Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted and bubbling, place the dates cut side down in the pan. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until they achieve a golden brown color, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Prepare the Yogurt Base: Spread the Greek yogurt evenly in a serving bowl. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the yogurt to infuse it with warm spice and aroma.
- Assemble and Finish: Place the caramelized dates on top of the cinnamon-spiced yogurt. Drizzle with the optional olive oil to add a subtle richness and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness and add texture.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for their large size and natural caramel flavor.
- Butter can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- The olive oil drizzle is optional but adds a fruity richness that contrasts nicely with the sweet dates.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt and dairy-free butter substitute.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste or substitute with nutmeg for variation.
