Ingredients
Scale
Granola Base
- 3/4 cup oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 3-4 tbsp honey (adjust to desired sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling and Topping
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
- Berries of choice, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the granola dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a sticky, cohesive dough. If the mixture seems dry or crumbly, gradually add more almond butter and honey until it holds together well.
- Form the granola base: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Take portions of the granola dough and press firmly into the bottom of each muffin liner to create a sturdy base layer that will hold the filling.
- Add yogurt and toppings: Spoon a generous amount of Greek yogurt into each granola base cup. Top with fresh berries and sprinkle any leftover granola dough on top for added texture and crunch.
- Freeze to set: Place the filled muffin pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the granola cups are fully firm and set.
- Serve: When ready to eat, remove the frozen yogurt granola cups from the freezer and let them thaw slightly at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften before enjoying.
Notes
- You can use any berries of your choice such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries depending on your preference.
- If a nut allergy is a concern, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter or another nut-free alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey used or by adding a sugar substitute if needed.
- For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- These granola cups can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
