Banana Cinnamon Kamut Crunch Bowl
Kamut puffs stay light and crisp against thick yogurt, while banana supplies soft, sweet bites. A little cinnamon carries through the bowl without hiding the toasted cereal flavor.

- 1 small banana, sliced
1 teaspoon maple syrupShady Maple Farms: USDA Organic
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamonMorton & Bassett: USDA Organic

Method
Season the yogurt
Spoon yogurt into a shallow bowl and stir in cinnamon for 15 seconds, until evenly speckled. Keep the yogurt cold until assembly.
Slice the banana
Peel and slice the banana into 1/4-inch rounds, about 1 minute. Use a ripe but firm banana so the slices keep their shape.
Layer the fruit
Spread the yogurt flat and arrange banana over it. Drizzle on maple syrup in thin ribbons so no single spoonful becomes overly sweet.
Finish with puffs
Scatter the full cup of cereal across the bowl immediately before eating. Serve within 5 minutes, while the puffs still crackle against the yogurt.
Kitchen tips
Use a wide bowl to keep more cereal above the yogurt rather than submerged.
If the banana is very ripe, taste a slice before deciding whether to use all the syrup.
Substitutions
Use plain dairy-free yogurt for a milk-free variation; check its ingredient label.
Kamut is wheat. For a gluten-free variation, replace the puffs with a labeled gluten-free puffed rice cereal.
Storage
Assemble immediately before serving; refrigerate yogurt and cut fruit separately for up to 1 day.
Serving suggestions
Serve with coffee or tea and a spoon broad enough to catch yogurt and cereal together.
Make ahead
Slice the banana and add cereal at serving time; assembled puffs soften quickly. The cinnamon yogurt can be covered and refrigerated for 1 day.

Can I use milk instead of yogurt?
Yes. Pour in 1/2 cup cold milk and add the banana and cereal just before eating; the result will be looser.
Why did my puffs turn soft?
Puffed cereal absorbs moisture quickly. Keep it dry until the last step and avoid assembling the bowl the night before.
