Ingredients
  

The Base
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, unsweetened (2% or 5% fat recommended)
The Toppings
  • 0.25 cup pecan halves toasted
  • 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup Grade A Dark recommended
  • 1 pinch cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Small skillet (for toasting nuts)
  • Serving bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Place a small dry skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the pecan halves to the skillet and toast for 3-5 minutes, shaking frequently, until fragrant and slightly darkened. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. While nuts cool slightly, scoop the Greek yogurt into a serving bowl. Stir briefly to ensure a creamy texture.
  4. Top the yogurt with the warm toasted pecans.
  5. Drizzle the pure maple syrup generously over the nuts and yogurt.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegan version, use thick coconut yogurt. Toasting the nuts is essential for the best flavor.
