Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- For a vegan version, use a thick plant-based yogurt labelled vegan (such as coconut or soy) and swap the honey for maple syrup.
- For a nut-free bowl, replace the walnuts with toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
- Use 0% Greek yogurt instead of 2% for a lighter, still creamy base.
- Swap the walnuts for pecans or almonds if that is what you have on hand.
Storage
This is best assembled and eaten fresh, as the nuts soften and the honey thins into the yogurt. Keep any unused yogurt sealed in the fridge and cooled toasted walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week; do not freeze the assembled bowls.
Make ahead
Toast and chop the walnuts up to a week ahead and store them airtight once fully cool. Spoon the yogurt into bowls just before serving and add the walnuts, honey and cinnamon at the last minute.
