This is a light and delicious breakfast option. We loved how the cinnamon and sugar mixture makes the pita sweet and crunchy. It's a great compliment to the creamy yogurt and fruit mixture. There is a great combination of fruits stuffed inside. Toasted almonds are a great topping and add that last bit of crunch. A simple but yummy idea!

How To Make cinnamon toasted fruit pita

Step 1

Heat a cast iron griddle or any skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 2

If you don't already have a cinnamon & sugar mixture, then mix the two together in a small dish.
Step 3

Butter/oil both sides of the 4 pitas. Sprinkle each side with 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon mixture.
Step 4

Place all 4 pitas on pre-heated griddle/skillet. Cook until nicely browned, about 3-5 mins.
Step 5

Then flip to the other side and repeat.
Step 6

While pitas are browning/toasting, clean and slice all the fruits.
Step 7

Add to a bowl, mix until well combined.
Step 8

Let the pitas cool and then spread 1-2 tablespoons of the Greek yogurt inside the pita.
Step 9

Fill with fruit.
Step 10

Sprinkle the toasted almonds. Enjoy.
Step 11

TIP: If you need to toast your sliced almonds, put them on a small pan and put them in a pre-heated oven or toaster oven for about 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned.
