These delicious and nourishing summer yogurt bowls celebrate the juiciest, peak season peaches! Peach pie yogurt bowls are high in protein from Greek yogurt and come together in five minutes - the perfect breakfast for busy mornings.
Yogurt bowls are one of my favorite breakfasts for so many reasons - they're incredibly nourishing, protein-packed, and adaptable to any seasonal fruits and flavors. That, plus they're quick and easy which means we're getting a delicious meal that gives peach crisp vibes, and for very little effort - perfect for busy weekday mornings in late summer or back-to-school season. Also for bedtime snacks. Just sayin'!
It's peach season, people! Let's make the most of it.

Key Ingredients
- Greek yogurt - I like to use plain whole milk yogurt (my favorite is the kind from Siggi's, which is technically skyr - an Icelandic strained yogurt, similar to Greek yogurt) and then flavor it myself with maple syrup and vanilla (listed below). You can use an already flavored vanilla yogurt as a shortcut as well.
- Fresh peaches - Peaches at peak season are best, which means this yogurt bowl is especially good in summer months! Peaches are perfectly ripe when they smell fragrant and give slightly when you push with your thumb. Ideally the peaches you're using aren't mushy—if they are, you're welcome to risk it, but they might be better off in a fresh peach crisp!
- Granola - Pick your favorite recipe or store bought granola! With peaches, I recommend a granola with flavor profiles of cinnamon, pecans, almonds, honey, maple syrup, or similar, rather than something with chocolate. My maple pecan granola or maple cinnamon walnut granola would be great! For store bought granola, I highly recommend Purely Elizabeth. Their original ancient grain granola is the flavor would taste delicious with these peach pie yogurt bowls, but if you have another favorite, go for it!

Substitutions & Variations
- Plant-based - To make vegan or plant-based yogurt bowls, use a dairy free yogurt and check your granola ingredients to ensure all come from plants (e.g. no butter or honey). Siggi's has an incredible plant-based yogurt line with super thick and creamy yogurts, and Coconjune and Forager Project are delicious too. Also, all of my granola recipes can be made vegan!
- Yogurt - This recipe provides instruction for flavoring your own yogurt, but I often use the vanilla yogurt from Siggi's. It's not too sweet, contains nothing artificial, and tastes SO good!
- Fruit - Obviously peach pie yogurt bowls are going to star cinnamon-y sweet peaches, but you can totally add other seasonal fruits such as plums, cherries, or apricots. You could even add some blueberries, which complement peaches perfectly (we all know this because of blueberry peach salad!).
- Grain free - Use a grain free granola or simply top with a healthy handful of nuts and seeds. Yum!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Combine yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl. Use a spoon to stir the ingredients together - I like to stir pretty vigorously to achieve an extra smooth texture.
- Step 2: Top with diced peaches, granola, and any other toppings. Dust lightly with more cinnamon, and enjoy!
Tips for Making the Best Peach Pie Yogurt Bowls
- Make the yogurt bowls more filling. Use high protein yogurt options such as Greek yogurt or skyr, and use an amount that meets your hunger needs (for me, it's usually a full cup). You can also add more fruit and use a granola with nourishing ingredients like oats, nuts, and seeds.
- Choose the best peaches you can find. Ripe or almost-ripe peaches should smell very fragrant, so take a sniff before you buy! They should either be firm so they can ripen on your counter for a couple days, or firm with a slight give when you gently push your thumb into it (ready to eat). If you can find local peaches, definitely grab some from a produce stand or market... they're so good!
- Make sure your granola complements the flavors. For peaches, I recommend a granola with warming and nutty flavors such as honey, cinnamon, coconut sugar, maple syrup, almonds, pecans, walnuts, oats, vanilla, or ginger.
- Assemble right before eating. While you can prepare the different components in advance, you'll get the best textures (not too soft or mushy) if you assemble the yogurt bowls right before eating.
Yogurt Bowl FAQs
You'll know a peach is ripe when it's fragrant has a slight give when you press your thumb into the surface (soft, but not mushy). When at the market or store, you can also buy peaches that aren't quite ripe and allow them to ripen on your counter for a couple days.
Yogurt bowls are an incredibly healthy breakfast option because they can be made to contain all macronutrients - protein, carbs, and healthy fats. In addition, fruit, nuts, and granola provide energy and contain additional vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
For the best texture, I recommend prepping the components separately (yogurt, fruit, granola) and assembling the bowls right before eating. You can have your yogurt prepped and in the fridge, peaches diced and stored separately in the fridge (if desired), and granola can be stored at room temperature until you're ready to top your bowls.
📖 Recipe
Peach Pie Yogurt Bowls
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Description
Peach pie yogurt bowls are are a quick, easy, and high protein breakfast to enjoy in summer with juicy, peak season peaches! Complete with warming cinnamon and crunchy granola, the flavors and textures of these yogurt bowls almost taste like dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt or skyr (2% or whole milk recommended)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 ripe peaches, diced
- ½ cup granola
- More cinnamon for dusting at the end
Instructions
- Make yogurt base. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir vigorously to fully combine and give it a smooth texture.
- Top & serve. Divide the yogurt into two smaller bowls or widemouth jars. Top each with half of the diced peaches and granola. If desired, dust with a little more cinnamon.
Notes
- Ingredient amounts. The amounts here are suggested as a ratio that I have made many times and loved, but this recipe is completely flexible! Adjust the amounts to make it work for you and your hunger level/preferences, whether it's more or less yogurt, peaches, or granola.
- Storage. If you want to store one of the yogurt bowls for later, place the yogurt in an airtight container or jar and store in the fridge separately from the peaches or granola. Once you're ready to eat it, add your diced peaches and granola just beforehand.
- Granola. I love the granola by Purely Elizabeth! For this recipe, I almost always use their original ancient grain flavor, if I'm not using my own homemade granola. There are many delicious granolas out there - my one recommendation would be to aim more for warming spices and sweeteners (e.g. cinnamon, ginger, honey, maple) as opposed to a chocolate granola.
