Recipe Description

Homemade Yogurt in the Oven – is a simple recipe that requires only two ingredients and delivers a fresh and healthy breakfast or snack to your table. And you don’t even need a yogurt maker or Instant Pot.

I’m trying to avoid as much processed food as possible, and so, I opt for eating more whole foods. And that is why I love making my own yogurt at home. And when I do, I’m in control. Besides, it tastes extra fresh, smooth, thick and creamy. To get the most nutrition, I use whole milk and organic plain Greek yogurt for my starter.

To make the Homemade Yogurt in the Oven, you will need the following ingredients:
