Raspberry Breakfast Yoghurt. Last but not least, I love granola or muesli with natural yogurt and jam for breakfast or as a mid-morning treat. They especially look so good when the ingredients are layered up in a recycled empty jam jar so you can see it all rather than a bowl. Raspberry Breakfast Yoghurt.

What Is The Least Fattening Cake? Least fatty cakes are low on butter as butter contains lots of fat. Try replacing butter for other ingredients wherever possible. For instance, try replacing butter with yogurt.
