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
Yogurt Layer
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (whole milk or low-fat)
Toppings
- Berries of choice for topping (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the granola dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a sticky, dough-like consistency. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more almond butter and honey until it holds together well.
- Form the granola cup bases: Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Take a spoonful of the granola dough and press it firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup to create a sturdy granola base for the cups.
- Add yogurt and toppings: Spoon a generous amount of Greek yogurt over the granola base in each muffin liner. Then, top the yogurt layer with fresh berries of your choice and sprinkle any remaining granola dough on top if desired.
- Freeze to set: Place the filled muffin pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours to allow the cups to set firmly. Before serving, let the cups thaw slightly so they are easier to remove from the liners and enjoy.
Notes
- You can use any type of Greek yogurt, but whole milk Greek yogurt provides a creamier texture.
- If you prefer vegan or dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Adjust the honey amount to your desired sweetness level.
- The granola dough can be customized by adding nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
- Store the cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Allow frozen cups to thaw at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for best texture.
