Ingredients
Granola Base
- 3/4 cup oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 3-4 tbsp honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling & Topping
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- Berries of choice (such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the Granola Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If the mixture feels dry or crumbly, add a little more almond butter and honey to achieve a cohesive texture.
- Form the Granola Cup Bases: Line a muffin pan with paper muffin liners for easy removal. Spoon a portion of the granola dough into the bottom of each muffin cup. Press firmly and evenly with your fingers to create a sturdy and compact base that will hold the yogurt filling.
- Add Yogurt and Toppings: Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into each granola base, filling the muffin cups. Top each filled cup with fresh berries and sprinkle any leftover granola dough over them for extra texture and flavor.
- Freeze to Set: Place the muffin pan in the freezer and allow the cups to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Before serving, let the granola cups thaw slightly for a few minutes to soften just enough for easy eating.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture or low-fat to reduce calories.
- Adjust honey amount depending on preferred sweetness level.
- Customize berries based on seasonal availability or personal taste.
- Ensure the granola dough is sticky enough to form a sturdy base to hold yogurt.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
