Breakfast Bowls

This is an extra fun option for breakfast.  Women and young women especially like this one.  It’s a great choice for a Girls Camp breakfast or a ladies brunch, combining delicious creamy yogurt with four different fruit and crunch combos!   Pick one or a combination of all four!

Your Menu

Read on to see the quantities, recipes and everything you need to set up four breakfast bowl stations.  Then review your Game Plan – it will help you make sure everything goes smoothly.   Only the Sweet Cream Biscuits in the Southern Belle Bowl require any cooking.  These biscuits, which provide an irresistible sweet, salty crunch for this bowl, can be made in advance.

Berrylicious Bowl

A winning combination of vanilla yogurt, berries, granola and poppy seeds is a great way to start the morning.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread Bowl

Who can resist bananas, granola, toasted almonds and a drizzle of peanut butter!  Banana Bread never had it so good.  (Substitute Nutella for the Peanut Butter if any of your guests have peanut allergies.)

Your Game Plan

On your serving tables you’ll set up a serving station for each bowl option.  Placing a sign at each station with the name of the bowl adds to the fun.  The only item requiring any cooking is the delicious, crunchy Sweet Cream Biscuits (recipe follows) for the Southern Belle Bowl and those can be made either the night before or up to a month in advance and frozen.  (These are the same biscuits I use in my Jeni’s Splendid Sweet Cream Biscuits and Peach Jam Ice Cream recipe – coming soon!)   All that’s left is some fruit prep the night before and the morning of your breakfast and you’re good to go!

By the way – If you’re serving both guys and gals you’ll want to include a cheesy egg bowl with bacon pieces and/or sausage crumbles which will also require cooking.

 

Your bowls will have 3 main ingredients:

 

#1 Yogurt

This will be the first item on your serving line after the serving bowls.  Either vanilla flavored or unsweetened Greek Yogurt, sweetened with a little powdered sugar will work.   Plan on 4 ounces of yogurt per serving.

Sam’s has both: Chobani Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (40 ounces) – about 10 servings per container

or Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt (32 ounces) – about 8 servings per container

#2 The star of the show: Fruit

Each serving station will feature a different combination of fruit.   The Southern Belle Bowl highlights sweet Georgia peaches with a crunchy biscuit topping.   The Aloha Dreams Bowl features fun tropical options such as mangos and kiwis.  Or you can get creative with whatever fruit is abundant and delicious in your neck of the woods!

#3 Finally, a little Crunch

Each serving station will also feature a different crunch option.  Either granola or muesli works well for this.  The Aloha Dreams Bowl includes sweetened, toasted coconut shavings.  You’ll need about .4 – .5 ounce crunch per serving.  (This is about 1/2 of 1 crushed granola bar.)

I prefer Nature Valley Granola Crunch Oats N’ Honey.  One (16 ounce) bag of granola will serve approximately 32.

Sam’s and COSTCO both carry Nature Valley™ Oats ‘n Honey Crunchy Granola Bars (1.49 oz., 49 2 bar packages). One box will provide toppings for 200 bowls.  Our local Sam’s also has Daily Chef Ancient Grains Swiss Granola Cereal which includes organic coconut chips from Sri Lanka and quinoa from Bolivia.

Your Time Line

Simply assign the Sweet Cream Biscuits and the activities in each column to your volunteers and provide them a link to this page.  I generally get 4-5 volunteers for the biscuits and have each volunteer make 1 or 2 batches, depending on the number of people I’m serving.

You can slice and prep the strawberries, peaches, pineapple and mangos the night before.  Wash the berries the day of serving and slice the bananas no more than 15 – 30 minutes prior to serving.
