Maui says

Use the thickest yogurt you can find - 10% if your shop has it. This is four ingredients, and thin yogurt turns it into a soup with nuts floating in it. If all you have is regular yogurt, strain it through a coffee filter in the fridge for an hour and it becomes the right thing.

Ingredients

Everything below makes 2 servings.

  • 2 cupsfull-fat Greek yogurtthe thick strained kind, 5% or 10%
  • 3 tbsphoneythyme honey if you can find it
  • ½ cupwalnutshalves, to be toasted and broken
  • ¼ tspground cinnamon
  • ½ tsporange zestfrom half an orange

Instructions

Knife work first, then the stove. Nothing below asks you to chop while something burns.

Before you start
  1. Zest the orange before you juice or eat it - the zest is the part this recipe wants and it is impossible to get off a peeled orange.

Toast the walnuts

Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat, shaking often, until they smell nutty and darken a shade, about 3 min. Tip them straight out of the pan - they keep cooking in it - and break them up roughly with your fingers once cool enough to handle.

Bowl and finish

Spoon the yogurt into two bowls and swipe a hollow across the top. Pour the honey into the hollow and let it run. Scatter the toasted walnuts, then the ground cinnamon and orange zest over everything.

Make it yours

Every swap here is one Maui already knows how to make, including what it does to the timing.

Instead of walnuts and honey alone, the classic way With fresh figs

Quarter two ripe figs and press them cut-side-up into the yogurt. Adds about 2 minutes.

Instead of walnuts and honey alone, the classic way With berries

Scatter over - less traditional, but it is what most people have in. Adds about 1 minutes.

Instead of full-fat Greek yogurt Coconut yogurt

Thinner and sweeter - cut the honey by half or it overwhelms.

What keeps

Assembly only. The walnuts are the one thing worth doing ahead - toast a whole bag at once and they keep a week in a jar.

The Week tab: breakfast, lunch and dinner laid out on the grid, with a Sunday cook of avocado toast and black bean tacos and a Wednesday cook of a berry smoothie bowl.
A week that gets more like you Start with the cuisines you crave, your spice level, and anything you'd rather avoid. It plans around the days you actually cook, not a default Sunday. Then every dish you rate teaches Maui, so your weeks keep moving toward your taste instead of settling into a routine.
Cook mode showing a Sunday session of 3 recipes and 18 steps, with one combined prep list where garlic is marked used in all 3 recipes and spring onions are marked Korean BBQ plus Thai Basil.
Three dishes, one prep list Everything chopped once, combined across every recipe in the session. Then Maui interleaves the steps so a marinade rests while something else browns.
