4.6 from 117 reviews

This Baked Yogurt recipe transforms creamy Greek yogurt into a luscious, custard-like dessert that’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup and studded with fresh berries. It’s a simple, wholesome treat perfect for breakfast, snack, or a light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Yogurt Mixture

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Berries

  • 1 1/2 cups berries, divided (such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring enough overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Add cornstarch and whisk again until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Berries and Pour: Gently fold in 1 cup of the berries into the yogurt mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of berries evenly on top.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the center of the yogurt custard is set and no longer jiggly. The top will be lightly golden but not browned.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked yogurt from the oven and allow it to cool nearly to room temperature for easier slicing. Cut into 9 equal slices and serve plain or with extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the center is fully set by gently nudging the pan; it should not jiggle like liquid.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture.
  • Feel free to substitute berries with other fruits like diced peaches or mango for variation.
  • This dessert can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
  • Using parchment paper makes removal from the baking dish easy and keeps the shape intact.
