This DIY Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt can easily turn a bowl of regular yogurt into a fun after-school snack, an exciting new breakfast, or an easy dessert. Great for ages 9+ months.
Simmer: place the fruit of choice, water, and spice into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until soft and broken down. Stir in the maple syrup. Let cool.
Pulse: pulse with an immersion blender or transfer the fruit to a blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes until smooth. You can make this as chunky or smooth as you prefer.
Fruit Layer: add 2-3 tablespoons of the fruit compote at the bottom of a small container (preferably one with a lid if planning on storing).
Yogurt Layer: next add 1/2 cup of yogurt. Close lid or serve.

Age: 6+ months but omit the sweetener. Storage: These fruit yogurts can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze the fruit puree for up to 4 months. Then you can defrost and add it to yogurt whenever you wish to serve this recipe. For Toddlers and Kids: feel free to top with hemp seeds, granola, a drizzle of honey (for those over 1 year of age), or chopped berries. Note on Fruit: if using frozen fruit, there is no need to thaw them before cooking in this recipe.Time-Saving Tip: while we love making this recipe using simmered fruit, if you are short on time, you can simply blend frozen and thawed fruit (and their juices) with the spices and maple syrup until smooth. Then add to yogurt and serve.
