The holiday rush is over and we’re settling back into our schedules and routines. For some of us, maybe it means trying to settle into a new routine that involves finding ways to lead a healthier lifestyle.
If your healthier lifestyle means finding new, healthier recipes that are easy to make and taste great, how about starting with this cinnamon pear yogurt baked oatmeal?!
You can get your mornings started with a hearty, delicious baked oatmeal that is sweetened with honey, packed with fiber and complex carbs from oats, wheat flour, and flaxseed, and filled with protein from yogurt. Add in fresh pears and warm spices and you have comfort food for breakfast!
The star of this baked oatmeal is the yogurt that is both baked in the oatmeal and spooned on top. It isn’t just any yogurt. It’s Yulu Yogurt! Yulu Yogurt is an Aussie Style yogurt made right here in the US.
Yulu is smoothed twice to make it extra creamy and give it a luxurious texture that you have to experience in order to believe.
If you’ve tried Greek yogurt before and didn’t like the somewhat sour taste that it had, you’ll love Yulu. No sour or “acquired” taste. Plus, it has 9 grams of protein and a healthy dose of calcium in each cup!
You can find Yulu Yogurt in 5 flavors. When you look for it in the stores, you don’t have to wonder what’s in the container. It’s packaged in a special clear cup that lets you see that it’s filled with real fruit and honest ingredients.
I tried the vanilla bean and could see right away the flecks from the vanilla bean before even opening the container.
With the great flavor and nourishing benefits of Yulu, it makes the perfect addition to this cinnamon pear baked oatmeal. It adds flavor, protein, calcium, and is a great substitute for fat.
So you can enjoy the texture, too, I served the baked oatmeal with a dallop of Yulu and a drizzle of honey. A perfect creamy topping for the oatmeal.
Rich, delicious breakfast without the rich, delicious side effects!
