Ingredients
Scale
For the Granola Cups:
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- Fresh fruits for topping (berries, banana slices, etc.)
- Optional toppings: chia seeds, nuts, granola, coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 6-8 paper cupcake liners or grease it lightly.
- Make the granola crust: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), almond butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Shape the granola cups: Press the granola mixture into the muffin tin, creating a small well in the center of each. You can use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press it down evenly. The sides should form a cup shape.
- Bake the granola cups: Bake the granola cups in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm. Let them cool completely in the muffin tin.
- Prepare the filling: While the granola cups are cooling, mix the Greek yogurt with honey (if desired) until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the granola cups: Once the granola cups have cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Fill each cup with a spoonful of yogurt and top with your favorite fresh fruit and toppings.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. These granola cups are perfect for meal prep, and you can make them ahead of time!
