Cinnamon Toasted Fruit Pita image

This is a light and delicious breakfast option. We loved how the cinnamon and sugar mixture makes the pita sweet and crunchy. It's a great compliment to the creamy yogurt and fruit mixture. There is a great combination of fruits stuffed inside. Toasted almonds are a great topping and add that last bit of crunch. A simple but yummy idea!

Number Of Ingredients 13

CINNAMON & SUGAR MIXTURE
2 teaspoon(s) sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
STUFFING MIXTURE
5 ounce(s) Greek yogurt, vanilla flavored
4 medium strawberries, sliced
1 small banana, sliced
1/2 small apple (I use peeled granny smith) diced
10 - grapes, sliced in half
4 teaspoon(s) sliced almonds, toasted
PITA
2 - pita pockets, cut in half and split open for stuffing
2 teaspoon(s) butter or olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat a cast iron griddle or any skillet over medium-low heat.
  • If you don't already have a cinnamon & sugar mixture, then mix the two together in a small dish.
  • Butter/oil both sides of the 4 pitas. Sprinkle each side with 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon mixture.
  • Place all 4 pitas on pre-heated griddle/skillet. Cook until nicely browned, about 3-5 mins.
  • Then flip to the other side and repeat.
  • While pitas are browning/toasting, clean and slice all the fruits.
  • Add to a bowl, mix until well combined.
  • Let the pitas cool and then spread 1-2 tablespoons of the Greek yogurt inside the pita.
  • Fill with fruit.
  • Sprinkle the toasted almonds. Enjoy.
  • TIP: If you need to toast your sliced almonds, put them on a small pan and put them in a pre-heated oven or toaster oven for about 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned.
