These vibrant blackberry and blueberry-ginger yoghurt pots offer a refreshing start to the day or serve as a light, nutrient-dense afternoon snack. By gently simmering seasonal berries with both ground and fresh ginger, you create a deeply flavoured compote that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit with a subtle, warming heat. It is a fantastic vegetarian recipe for those looking to add more antioxidants and wholesome grains to their morning routine.

Simplicity is at the heart of this dish, which relies on the satisfying contrast between creamy natural yoghurt and the crunch of toasted oats. This recipe is particularly well-suited for a healthy weekday breakfast as the fruit and oats can be prepared in advance. Serve in glass jars for a portable homemade meal that looks as good as it tastes.

How to make Blackberry and Blueberry–Ginger Yoghurt Pots

Back to contents

Put the berries in a wide, medium pan with the ground and fresh ginger and 2 teaspoons of water and place over a low heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries are soft and mushy. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely before serving.

Meanwhile, using a paper towel, rub a medium non-stick frying pan with the oil or spritz with a little spray oil and set it over a medium heat. Add the oats and cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until just catching colour. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely before serving.

Divide the yoghurt, berries, and oats among four bowls and serve.
