I’ve been quite stuck into passionfruit lemon yogurt slice lately. This breakfast slice is no exception. I loved it on the first try and would not change a thing. Except maybe add a touch of extra sweetener if you’re planning to make it for dessert instead of breakfast. As it is, it’s only sweetened with one banana and a half!

It’s loaded with whole foods like quinoa, almond meal, coconut, and fresh fruit. Which makes it so good for breakfast ( and a bit of Mediterranean Roasted Chickpeas will make your meal even more complete ) or a yummy afternoon snack.

If you want to make it next-level awesome, top it with coconut yogurt and fresh passion fruit. SO SO good!!

You can also enjoy the delightful flavors of passionfruit yogurt in various forms. It makes for a fantastic topping, or you could blend it into a passion fruit yogurt smoothie for a refreshing drink on hot days. Another option is to mix it into a passion fruit yogurt drink for a light and fruity beverage!

Passionfruit Lemon Yogurt Slice

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: Approximately 12 slices
Author: Chris

Ingredients:

100g desiccated coconut
100g almond meal
50g chopped pistachios
50g quinoa flakes/puffed quinoa/cooked quinoa
50g inca berries (or cranberries)
220g coconut yogurt (I used vanilla Coyo)
75g passion fruit pulp
1.5 bananas, mashed
Juice of 1 lemon
Toppings: more coconut yogurt, fresh passion fruit (sliced bananas are also nice, persimmons, raspberries or blueberries)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 190 Celsius.
Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl – coconut, almond meal, pistachios, quinoa, inca berries. Mix until combined.
Add the wet ingredients – banana, coconut yogurt, passion fruit, lemon juice. Mix by hand until you get a wet, sticky dough.
Press the dough into a pan lined with baking paper (I used a 22 x 22cm). (For a delightful twist, try a passionfruit yogurt loaf)
Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the slice becomes golden on the outside. To know if it’s done, poke it with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, it’s done.
Allow to cool and remove from pan.

Slice, add toppings, and enjoy! Keeps well for 3-4 days outside the fridge if you don’t add toppings, or in the fridge if you top it all with yogurt.

Notes:

If you prefer a sweeter slice, consider adding a tablespoon of maple syrup or agave nectar, especially if serving it as dessert.
Feel free to swap in other dried fruits like raisins or apricots, or try adding nuts like walnuts or almonds for a different texture.

Leftover?

When it comes to leftovers, the Passionfruit Lemon Yogurt Slice offers some delightful advantages. Here are a few talking points on how to enjoy leftovers:

Storage and Freshness:

This yogurt slice stores exceptionally well! Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days without toppings. If you've topped it with yogurt or fresh fruit, store it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. Properly stored, the flavors will continue to meld, enhancing the overall taste of the slice over the next few days.

Creative Leftover Uses:

Don’t let any leftover slices go to waste! They can be repurposed in various creative ways. Crumble the slice over a smoothie bowl or yogurt parfait for added texture and flavor. Alternatively, serve it alongside a scoop of dairy-free ice cream for a quick and satisfying dessert. You can also blend leftover slices into a smoothie for a nutritious boost on the go.
