Ingredients
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 Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
- Berries of choice to top (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the granola base: In a bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, add additional almond butter and honey to help it hold together well.
- Form the granola cups: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Spoon an even portion of the granola dough into the bottom of each muffin cup. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press the granola firmly, creating a sturdy and compact base layer.
- Add the filling and toppings: Spoon a generous amount of Greek yogurt on top of each granola base. Then, add fresh berries and sprinkle any leftover granola dough on top for extra crunch and texture.
- Freeze the cups: Place the muffin pan in the freezer and let the granola cups set for at least 4 hours or until they are fully firm and chilled.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the frozen yogurt granola cups from the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly before enjoying this cool and refreshing treat.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any other nut butter of choice.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your preference.
- These cups can be stored in the freezer for up to one week in an airtight container.
- Feel free to incorporate different fruits or nuts as toppings for variation.
- Make sure to press the granola base firmly to ensure it holds together after freezing.
