For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (I chose pecans)
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the topping:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 oz Neufchâtel cheese, softened (can sub with regular cream cheese)
- zest of 1 lime (can sub 1/2 lemon)
- juice of 1 lime (can sub 1/2 lemon)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- assorted fruit (about 3-4 cups)**
Instructions
For the crust:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 10-inch springform pan (or tart pan with removable sides) with cooking spray. Combine all of the crust ingredients together in a small bowl and stir until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and firmly press onto the bottom.
- Place in oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to completely cool before topping.
For the topping:
- In a small bowl whip together the Greek yogurt and Neufchâtel cheese until smooth. Add in the lime zest, lime juice and honey. Stir until well blended.
- Pour on top of the cooled granola crust, spreading evenly across.
- Arrange fruit of choice on top of the yogurt/cream cheese topping in any design you’d like. Cut into slices and enjoy!
Notes
*Once the granola crust is topped with the yogurt/cream cheese and fruit, it will start to soften it, so it’s best to serve soon after topping it to avoid a soggy crust.
**3-4 cups of fruit won’t all fit on the the top, but I like to have extra fruit on hand for people to add more to their slice of fruit pizza (after slicing and serving), if desired.
