Air Fryer Burrito

I’ve made yogurt in the Instant Pot before, but as I mentioned in that post, it can be time-consuming. I decided to look around for an easier method for making yogurt at home, and found posts on Reddit about EasiYo, a low-effort yogurt maker from New Zealand. It looks like a big thermos and works with powdered milk. You mix the powder with water in a container, close it up, and then place it in the thermos with boiling water. 8 hours (plus chilling time) later, you’ve got yogurt.

There was a coupon available to get the actual yogurt maker for free with the purchase of the yogurt packets, so I decided to try it out. The deal made me worried that this was some kind of yogurt pyramid scheme, but I did get both the yogurt maker and packets in the mail a couple of days later. I started with their Greek style manuka honey flavor, which isn’t something I can get in the store here:

The flavor packets are both a bit sugary and a bit expensive. While the yogurt-making process worked, and was quicker than my Instant Pot process, I honestly wouldn’t get the honey flavor again. It tasted like overly sweet flowers. Although to be fair, I did leave the yogurt in the maker for more like 12 hours and that may have impacted the final flavor. It’s also possible (according to Reddit) to make yogurt without the packets using powdered milk and actual yogurt. I’m looking forward to finishing my packets and trying that method, for easier homemade yogurt.

Chocolate chip yogurt muffins

When life gives you overly sweet flower yogurt, make chocolate chip yogurt muffins. I found this Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe on Nourished by Nic, a dietician’s easy healthy food blog that I’m looking forward to cooking more from. I made the recipe as directed, just swapping the plain greek yogurt for my homemade manuka honey yogurt, and reducing the maple syrup. They’re as soft and tasty as the recipe promised.
