Ingredients
Granola Base
- 3/4 cup oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 3-4 tbsp honey (depending on desired sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling and Topping
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat based on preference)
- Berries of choice (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries) to top
Instructions
- Prepare the Granola Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add a bit more almond butter and honey to achieve a moldable consistency.
- Form the Granola Cups: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Spoon a portion of the granola dough into the bottom of each muffin cup. Press firmly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a sturdy and even base for the cups.
- Add Yogurt and Toppings: Spoon a generous amount of Greek yogurt atop each granola base. Then, add fresh berries and sprinkle any remaining granola dough over the yogurt for added texture and flavor.
- Freeze to Set: Place the muffin pan in the freezer and let it set for at least 4 hours, allowing the yogurt to freeze and the cups to firm up properly. Before serving, let the cups thaw for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier eating.
Notes
- You can use full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Adjust the amount of honey to control sweetness according to taste.
- Use muffin liners to help easily remove the granola cups from the pan after freezing.
- These cups can be stored in the freezer for up to one week in an airtight container.
