Why You’ll Love This Recipe
It’s not a good sign when your sweatpants are tight. I think I speak for all of us who’ve had a few too many slices of Banana Bread lately.
Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, when I came across this Plant-Based Breakfast Bowl in a discontinued issue of Cooking Light, I played around with the basic idea until this new healthy recipe bowl was born, and it’s a good one.
Here’s a few things to know about this easy bowl:
- Roasted grapes will change you. Seriously, they are so, so good and worth the time.
- This breakfast is packed with good-for-you ingredients like toasted hazelnuts, vanilla yogurt and honey that taste downright indulgent.
- Bowls are a great way to eat breakfast, pack for lunch or to enjoy as snacks and make for easy meal prep during the week. The perfect bowl for busy mornings.
Ingredients For This Recipe
- Wheatberries: These grains are plump, satisfying and chewy when fully cooked, and stay fresh for several days refrigerated. Great on salads, too.
- Red Grapes: Seedless and organic, if possible.
- Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt, plant-based or even vanilla yogurt work well.
- Hazelnuts: Dry roasted for extra flavor, then roughly chopped.
- Honey: Just a tiny bit makes a huge difference in the overall flavor of these bowls.
How to Make Roasted Grapes
For the full recipe and instructions, please scroll to the recipe card below.
- Remove grapes from their stems, then wash and pat dry with a clean dish towel.
- Place the grapes in an oven-proof baking dish with olive oil and flaky salt.
- Roast in a 400F degree oven for 15-20 minutes, gently shaking the dish once mid-way during the bake time.

Expert Tips
- Plain Greek yogurt is great in this recipe, but use any yogurt you like.
- The roasted grapes and cooked wheat berries will keep well if refrigerated in well-sealed containers for up to 4 days.
- Use the juice that accumulates on the bottom of the roasted grapes to drizzle over the top of your bowl for extra deliciousness.
- Use kosher salt on the grapes, or my favorite Maldon Sea Salt Flakes.
- Round out this breakfast bowl with a Frozen Pineapple Nectarine Slushee!

Notes
