Ingredients

• 10 sheets Phyllo dough sheets (thawed)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1.5 cups Granola (your choice of flavor)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of melted butter.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the granola, chopped nuts, and cinnamon to form the filling mixture.

Step 3

Place one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish. Brush the sheet lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process with 5 sheets, layering one on top of the other and brushing each sheet with butter.

Step 4

Spread half of the granola-nut mixture evenly over the layered phyllo dough.

Step 5

Continue layering 3 more sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter, and then add the remaining granola-nut mixture.

Step 6

Finish with 2 more sheets of phyllo dough, brushing the top sheet generously with melted butter.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, cut the layered baklava into squares or diamonds before baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top of the phyllo dough is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

While the baklava is baking, prepare the honey-yogurt drizzle by mixing the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Keep chilled until ready to use.

Step 10

Remove the baklava from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 11

Drizzle the chilled honey-yogurt mixture over the baklava squares or serve the drizzle on the side for dipping.

Step 12

Enjoy your Breakfast Baklava warm or at room temperature!
