My Kids Begged for Dessert for Breakfast, So I Made This!

A sugar-cookie-style fruit tart piled high with berries has always been one of my family’s favorite treats. My kids love those bakery-style fruit tarts and for years they’ve tried to convince me they qualify as breakfast. “There’s fruit on top, Mom!” is an argument I’ve heard more than once.

I finally decided to meet them halfway.

Instead of giving in to the sugar-cookie crust, I created a version that actually could pass as breakfast. I started with the base from my Healthy Breakfast Cookies, tweaked the ingredients, and turned them into little tart shells. Once I filled them with vanilla Greek yogurt and topped them with fresh fruit, the result felt just as fun and colorful as a classic fruit tart—but with ingredients I felt good about serving first thing in the morning.

Now these Healthy Fruit Tarts are a regular in my kitchen. They’re quick, no-bake, and my kids think they’re getting dessert for breakfast, which feels like a win for everyone.

Healthy Fruit Tart Ingredients

Creamy almond butter: I tested this recipe using Justin’s® almond butter. Some brands are more oily and some are drier; make sure to stir up the almond butter well before using.
Honey: It helps with the consistency and also to sweeten the tart shells.
Vanilla extract: This enhances the flavor of these Healthy Fruit Tarts.
Salt: It enhances flavors and balances the sweetness of the honey.
Rice Krispie® cereal: Just a bit of this cereal adds a nice crunch to the tart shells and bulks them up without adding a lot of calories.
Old-fashioned oats: Make sure to use old-fashioned, but not quick or steel-cut oats. Not sure of the difference? Read up here!

Quick Tip

Oat flour: No need to buy specialty flour for this recipe; I make oat flour by blending regular old-fashioned oats in a blender (or pulse in a food processor). You’ll have oat flour in a minute or less.

“It is satisfying to these little tarts SO much! They’re my go to sweet tooth fix. I put my tart shells in mini silicone muffin cups for equal proportions and some extra character. Toddler and husband approved. Thanks for the awesome recipe!”

How To Fill Healthy Fruit Tarts

Greek yogurt: When you’ve made the tart shells, fill the centers with Greek yogurt. I highly recommend Greek Gods® honey vanilla yogurt—it is the best in these tart shells! I also like Yoplait® Whips coconut creme yogurt.
Berries: a reliable fruit is fresh berries! Raspberries, sliced strawberries, blackberries, blueberries are all wonderful ways to top Healthy Fruit Tarts.
Banana: Thinly sliced bananas are another favorite topping.
Other fruit: Other fruits I’ve tried and loved include thinly sliced kiwi, fresh chopped apricots, and also thinly sliced peaches.

Quick Tips

To avoid overflowing yogurt: fill the tart shells about 3/4th full; when you add berries on top, the yogurt spreads.
Almond butter varies: The almond butter makes this recipe a little bit tricky; because almond butters vary so much (some are more oily/wet than others), you may have to modify the mixture. If the mixture is too wet or sticky, add a little more oat flour and if it’s too dry, add a little more honey or almond butter.
