Passion Fruit Baked Yogurt

There’s so much passion fruit in the market, that I couldn’t resist buying a whole lot. It is so refreshing and it’s always a thrill to bite into the little black seeds. It is really bright with it’s flavours and so pairs beautifully with something more neutral like yogurt. Baking yogurt is quick and feels like a nicer treat than just a bowl of plain yogurt with fruit. It is the festive season after all, so the perfect time to be a little extra with everything. Add a generous helping of winter fruit on top and you’ve got yourself a lovely little bowl of goodness!
