Possible Ingredient Alternatives
Plain Greek yogurt can be replaced with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free alternative. This substitution maintains the creamy texture and tangy flavor while accommodating those with lactose intolerance or following a vegan diet. Use a 1:1 ratio when substituting. Honey can be swapped with maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan options. These alternatives provide similar sweetness, though you may need to adjust the amount slightly to achieve the desired taste. For those looking to reduce sugar intake, stevia or monk fruit sweetener can be used in place of honey. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as these sweeteners are more concentrated than honey. Walnuts can be substituted with other nuts like almonds or pecans, or with seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds for those with nut allergies. This maintains the crunchy texture and provides similar nutritional benefits.

Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Base
Spoon the desired amount of yogurt into a small dessert dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed as a base for your toppings.

If you wish to enhance the flavor of the walnuts, you can toast them.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts, and toast them lightly until they’re fragrant.
This should take a few minutes.
Be sure to stir them frequently to prevent burning.
Step 3: Add Toppings
Sprinkle the crushed walnuts over the top of the yogurt.
Next, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the yogurt for added spice.
Finally, drizzle honey over the top for a touch of sweetness.
