Ingredients You’ll Need

This Oat and Yogurt Fruit Pizza Recipe uses simple, everyday ingredients that blend beautifully for a tasty, textured base and a creamy topping that complements any fruit you throw on top. Here’s what I keep handy to make this a breeze.

• Greek Yogurt: Thick, creamy, and packed with protein—it makes a rich base for the frosting.
• Peanut Butter or Nut Butters: Adds a nutty, luscious flavor and helps thicken the frosting; I sometimes swap almond or cashew butter for variety.
• Honey: Natural sweetness, adjustable to your taste—start small and add more if you want it sweeter.
• Oil (grapeseed, vegetable, or coconut): Keeps the oat cookie crust moist without overpowering flavors.
• Applesauce: Acts as a natural sweetener and adds moisture to the crust, keeping it tender.
• Brown Sugar: Gives the crust a hint of caramel sweetness and deeper flavor complexity.
• Flour (whole wheat pastry or mix): Adds structure but using whole wheat pastry flour gives a tender crumb you’ll appreciate.
• Rolled Oats: For that classic oat texture and heartiness; avoid instant oats—they get mushy when baked.
• Spices like Cinnamon: A pinch brings warmth and depth—don’t skip it!
• Fresh Fruit: Choose a rainbow of colors—from berries to kiwi or mandarin slices—freshness is key to making this pop on the plate.

Variations

I love that this recipe is like a canvas—you can make it your own by swapping in ingredients or trying different flavor profiles. Whether you want to suit dietary needs or just mix things up, here are some variations I’ve enjoyed over time.

• Chocolate Yogurt Frosting: I discovered this trick when I swapped peanut butter for cocoa powder; it gives a chocolaty twist that my kids adore.
• Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free oats and oat flour to keep it friendly if you or guests avoid gluten.
• Nut-Free Version: Replace nut butters with sunflower seed butter to keep the frosting creamy and allergy-safe.
• Seasonal Fruit Changes: In winter, I swap fresh fruit for thawed frozen berries or even pomegranate seeds—they keep it special year-round.

How to Make Oat and Yogurt Fruit Pizza Recipe

Step 1: Whip Up That Delicious Frosting

Start by mixing up your frosting because it needs some chill time. Combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, vanilla, and honey in a bowl. I like to taste as I go and add honey gradually until it hits the sweetness I want—sometimes I like it tangier, sometimes sweeter.
Once mixed, cover and pop the bowl in the fridge for at least an hour. This resting time lets the flavors marry and thickens the texture just enough to spread smoothly later on.

Step 2: Make the Oatmeal Cookie Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper—don’t skimp here; the parchment helps you lift the crust easily later. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, applesauce, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add your flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and flaxseed meal if you’re using it, then stir until everything’s just combined. If you like some crunch, fold in chopped walnuts.
Pour this dough onto your prepared pan, then use the back of a wooden spoon or spatula to spread it out evenly to the edges. Bake for about 15 minutes, watching for slight golden edges and a firm center. Let the crust cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment “handles” to lift and cool completely on a rack. When fully cooled, invert it onto a serving plate and peel back the parchment—this flip gives you the most pizza-like base to top.

Step 3: Frost and Adorn with Fruit

Spread your chilled yogurt frosting evenly across the entire crust, right to the edges. This step is where you can really get creative! I like arranging fruit in colorful concentric circles, starting from the outside edge and working inward. It’s like decorating a fun edible masterpiece.
Serve immediately for the best texture, or chill up to 4 hours to let everything get nicely chilled and melded. The fruit stays fresh and bright, and each slice is a perfect balance of crisp crust, creamy topping, and juicy fruit.

How to Serve Oat and Yogurt Fruit Pizza Recipe

Garnishes

I’m a big fan of a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a few fresh mint leaves because they add a little fresh pop and texture contrast. A light dusting of cinnamon or ground nutmeg also adds a cozy aroma that complements the fruit beautifully.

Side Dishes

This pizza pairs wonderfully with a tall glass of iced herbal tea or fresh-squeezed lemonade for brunch. Sometimes I serve it alongside a simple green salad with a light lemon vinaigrette if we want a more balanced meal.

Creative Ways to Present

For special occasions, I’ve arranged the fruit to spell out messages like “Happy Birthday” or made hearts and stars with cut fruit shapes. Kids especially love helping make these designs, turning it into a fun art project as well as a tasty treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftover slices store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. I recommend keeping the fruit separate if you can—you can add fresh slices on serving day to keep it tasting just-picked fresh.

Freezing

I’ve tried freezing the crust alone by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and foil—it freezes nicely for up to 3 months. Just thaw fully at room temperature before frosting and topping with fruit, which stays best fresh.

Reheating

This dessert is best enjoyed chilled, so reheating isn’t necessary — but if you prefer a warm crust, gently heat the crust alone for a few minutes, then add the chilled yogurt frosting and fresh fruit just before serving.
