A Healthier Berry Loaf Made With Yogurt

For a quick breakfast or mid-day snack for the kids, this Healthier Berry Loaf Made With Yogurt is a top choice with moms. Being nut-free, it’s also safe for school!

This recipe comes together quickly, which makes it the perfect recipe for busy days or last minute coffee guests. The prep is minimal and uses your typical pantry staples plus plain yogurt for extra moisture and a protein boost. I used a combo of frozen blueberries and fresh blackberries from my garden, but any will do! I might even try an apple and cinnamon combo next.
