Peanut Butter and Jelly Bowl Recipe

Greek yogurt: A thick and creamy yogurt that serves as the base for the bowl.

Peanut butter: Adds a rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture.

Jelly: Provides a sweet and fruity contrast to the peanut butter.

Honey: Optional, but adds an extra touch of sweetness if desired.

Granola: Adds a crunchy texture to the bowl, balancing the creaminess of the yogurt and peanut butter.

When swirling in the peanut butter and jelly, use a gentle folding motion to create a marbled effect. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures that you get a bit of both flavors in each bite.

• greek yogurt - Substitute with coconut yogurt: Coconut yogurt provides a similar creamy texture and is a great option for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free alternative.

• peanut butter - Substitute with almond butter: Almond butter has a similar consistency and nutty flavor, making it a perfect substitute for peanut butter.

• jelly - Substitute with fresh fruit puree: Fresh fruit puree, such as strawberry or raspberry, offers a natural sweetness and can be a healthier option with no added sugars.

• honey - Substitute with maple syrup: Maple syrup provides a similar sweetness and can be used as a vegan alternative to honey.

• granola - Substitute with crushed nuts: Crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts add a crunchy texture and are a great low-sugar alternative to granola.

• Allow the peanut butter and jelly bowl to cool to room temperature if it has been warmed or heated.
• Transfer the greek yogurt mixture into an airtight container. Ensure the container is well-sealed to maintain freshness.
• Store the container in the refrigerator. The peanut butter and jelly bowl can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.
• If you wish to freeze the peanut butter and jelly bowl, place it in a freezer-safe container. Leave some space at the top to allow for expansion.
• Label the container with the date to keep track of its freshness.
• Freeze the peanut butter and jelly bowl for up to 1 month. For best results, consume within this period.
• When ready to eat, thaw the peanut butter and jelly bowl in the refrigerator overnight.
• Before serving, give the mixture a good stir to reincorporate any separated ingredients.
• Add fresh granola just before serving to maintain its crunchiness.
• Optionally, drizzle with honey or add extra peanut butter and jelly for enhanced flavor.

• First, transfer the greek yogurt mixture into a microwave-safe bowl.
• If you prefer a warm and gooey texture, microwave on medium power for about 20-30 seconds. Be cautious not to overheat, as the yogurt can curdle.
• Alternatively, you can reheat the peanut butter and jelly separately in the microwave for 10-15 seconds each, then mix them back into the yogurt.
• For a more even texture, consider using a double boiler. Place the bowl over simmering water and stir gently until warmed through.
• If you want to maintain the crunch of the granola, add it fresh after reheating the rest of the bowl.
• For a quick fix, you can also use a stovetop method. Place the mixture in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until it reaches your desired warmth.
• Finally, if you’re in a rush, you can enjoy it cold. Simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to take the chill off before diving in.
