We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of
the day, which may or may not be true, but I’ve always found it to be the most
difficult meal of the day. There never
seems to be enough time, and so it’s easy to get into a rut, resorting to questionable
choices such as sugary cereal and milk, or fast-food breakfast sandwiches.
As far as specific ingredient choices go, I like to use chilled
Honey Crisp, or Fuji apples, and, as I mentioned in the clip, sheep’s milk is
my preferred yogurt. Some say it’s easier to digest, and it contains higher
amounts of linoleic acid, which apparently helps with fat loss, but I simply
prefer the taste. Just be sure to use a plain yogurt, since many flavored varieties
contain a shocking amount of sugar.
So, whether you try this to help with that
New Year’s resolution, or you’re just looking to add some variety into the
morning routine, I really do hope you give this Ben Franklin breakfast
bowl a try soon. Enjoy!
Ingredients for one portion:
1 cold, raw apple, cubed
6 ounces plain sheep’s milk yogurt
2 heaping tablespoons granola (click here for our recipe)
chopped nuts and/or additional seasonal fruit to garnish

Chef, love your vids. I don't have granola, can I sub a pound of bacon?
Happy New Year!
You can keep apples from browning by soaking them in honey water as per ATK: https://youtu.be/s-WDRPmUw10 Might let you do the apples way ahead of time and still be good.
Been a while Chef John! I was having severe withdrawal symptoms. One Food Wishes post a day keeps the doctor away
Happy New Year Chef John!
Hi Chef John, thanks for the reminder about simple.
Here is a food wish:
Parmesan rind broth.
So far the internet has not definitively revealed how long it should take to make. Nor does it suggest that there is any method of making it that doesn't create an unholy amount of goo in the pot that is really hard to clean. I am cooking it now at a low simmer and it seems to be goo free, but who knows? Next, the proportion of water to rind seems marvellous and ridiculous. It seems lots of water and a little bit of rind material can make a super delicious broth. But I don't know for sure.
Your multitude of adoring fans need to know about this great broth and learn how to make it by way of your characteristic simplicity, efficiency and intelligence.
Happy New Year and thanks for so much sage (parsley, etc.) advice.
Made this today and it really is the perfect breakfast for me. Filling but not heavy, with a great mix of textures and flavors. Good stuff!
Happy New Year, Chef John! This was exactly what I need for a delicious, but still healthy (and fully New Years Resolution compliant) breakfast idea that is also quick and easy. I may end up using chopped walnuts and frozen berries as alternatives to the suggested nuts and fresh fruit, at least occasionally. Glad I am finally the first comment on one of your blogspot recipes, too.
I've made this for breakfast the last 4 days in a row and I loooveee it.
This makes a good healthy breakfast. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
And yes, this comment is typed while eating the product of this recipe. Although using storebought granola/muesli, not homemade.
Please, keep up your channel :)
Greetings Chef! I gotta' tell ya'. This here bowl of fruity & nutty goodness sure is a welcomed change of pace from my usual stack of pancakes in the morning. And it be good too! In any event my finicky lady-friend claims that folks from California are quirky and hence why California is known as the Land of Fruits & Nuts. Ya' suppose she be making this up? Thanks! Your da' best!

I made this tonight along with the granola recipe that you posted, I think I have a new favorite breakfast! I catch myself walking by the granola and snacking on it alone as well! Thanks so much for the recipe! I love that it is so easy to make it your own as well. I used dried cranberries and raisins on the granola and I love the flavor it adds!
To make a Tom Jefferson bowl can I pack it with hemp?
The granola recipe that goes with this is so awesome, who knew it could be so easy and delicious? I have made it several times this past week, sharing with family and friends and enhancing fruit and yogurt everywhere. Thank you Chef John, you're a true inspiration.
Thanks for this! I never used to eat breakfast before, but now I'm slaying Franklin bowls every morning.
Greetings Chef, Sorry to say, but I'll has ya'knows dat' I kinda-sorta got tired of this here bowl of fruits & nuts after about a week or so. Nevertheless the bag of dinky apples dat' I found hibernating in da' fridge were still good so I done baked me your apple pie with some store bought pie crust. And I'll also has ya' knows dat' it was good too! Thanks! Your da' best!
Happy New Year 2019 Wishes
