Greek Yogurt Brulee Healthy Breakfast Recipe

Sometimes a recipe comes along that just has it all – easy, healthy, quick, and gorgeous. The kind of recipe that people still mention when they see you six months later. It’s one of those things that’s hard to predict though – I’ve made caramelized white chocolate (yes that’s a thing) and made homemade dulce de leche, layered seasonal veggies to create a gluten free sweet potato galette, added bourbon to make an already delicious recipe spectacular, and many other things that I consider far more impressive all for them to be never mentioned again.

This recipe for Greek yogurt brulee though, was something I just threw together on a whim. It doesn’t require any shopping trips in search of special ingredients. It’s naturally gluten free and dare I say it, healthy. This is the recipe that brought down the house.

I’ve served this healthy and easy version of creme brûlée at two separate brunches both to rave reviews. In addition, Pat and I eat it for our lazy morning breakfasts on the reg. Easy Bruleed yogurt with vegan option

So yes, it’s already pretty healthy, easy to make and naturally gluten free. The only thing was, my vegan friends were still missing out.

Silk yogurt alternative breakfast recipe

That is, until now. A brand I already trust, Silk, just released a brand new dairy-free yogurt alternative.I was impressed by how smooth and creamy it was! I didn’t miss my usual recipe at all and I got to feel good about starting my day with a vegan recipe. As a bonus each serving has 6 grams of plant-powered protein and real fruit. It’s free of gluten, cholesterol, artificial flavors and colors.
Yogurt brulee breakfast recipe

I’m always looking for ways to follow a plant-based diet. Although I’ll never follow a completely vegetarian or vegan diet, I’ve shared many vegan recipes here on A Side of Sweet over the years. I know I feel better and am treating my body better when I feel my body with the goodness of plants and vegetarian proteins. I’m always striving to eat vegan meals in a way that doesn’t feel restrictive or like I’m giving something up.

Kid friendly vegan breakfast ideas

My goal is always to balance indulgences with healthy meals and eating vegan whenever I can. Many times though, vegan replacement problems come with an issue of their own – they are full of harmful chemicals to replace the animal proteins and maintain the flavors and textures. One of the first things I did was read the label and look for carrageenan. Carrageenan is a stabilizer that I’ve learned in my work as a physician. Preliminary research is pointing to links between cancer carrageenan consumption as well as GI tract inflammation.  Unfortunately it frequently shows up on the labels of dairy-alternative products. Thankfully it was nowhere to be found in this product. I could feel comfortable eating it myself and sharing it with friends.

      Luckily the torch is not too expensive! You can get refills at a hardware store too, for cheap.

    This is SO perfect! One of my big things to mourn with my dairy allergy is creme brulee and now I can enjoy it again! I’m glad you look for the big bad C word too! I’m still looking for an acceptable coffee alternative. 🙁 I don’t really do soy either so it’s really hard. 🙁

      Awesome! I’m so sorry to hear that you have a dairy allergy, but I am glad companies are starting to come out with carrageenan products. I hope you get a chance to try this recipe!

    I cannot wait to try this! Creme brulee used to be one of my favourite desserts, and I’ve really missed that crunchy sweet topping these last few years. And I always like to have my breakfasts feel like dessert, so this is perfect!

    I was disappointed with your recipe and agree with what Ewa says. Yogurt with burnt sugar on top is not anywhere near Creme Brulee. The other thing that is disappointing is that being a physician you should had made the recipe more nutritious and healthier. People don’t need to eat sugar. There are enough diabetics in the country, especially children. I would add eggs to the recipe and vanilla extract, and replace the sugar with Monk fruit sugar, stevia glycerite, or swerve.
