Description

Crunchy and delicious homemade granola cups baked to golden perfection, perfect for filling with your favorite yogurt, fresh berries, and nut butter. A versatile and nutritious snack or breakfast treat that’s easy to make and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Granola Cups

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped
  • 1/4 cup seeds (sunflower or pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Fillings

  • Greek yogurt, dairy-free yogurt, or coconut yogurt
  • Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
  • Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter)
  • Drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Granola Mixture: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly coated with the syrup and oil blend.
  5. Shape Granola Cups: Spoon the granola mixture into each muffin cup, pressing it firmly onto the bottom and up the sides to form a bowl shape, packing it tightly to help the cups hold together.
  6. Bake Granola Cups: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the granola turns golden brown and crisp. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove the granola cups from the oven and allow them to cool fully inside the muffin tin to set and harden.
  8. Remove from Tin: Gently lift the cooled granola cups from the muffin tin, being careful not to break them.
  9. Fill Granola Cups: Fill each granola cup with your choice of filling such as a scoop of yogurt, fresh berries, a drizzle of nut butter, or honey/maple syrup to enhance flavor and texture.
  10. Serve or Store: Serve the granola cups immediately for maximum freshness or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Refrigerate if filled with yogurt to maintain freshness longer.

Notes

  • You can customize the nuts and seeds based on your preferences or what you have available.
  • For a vegan-friendly version, use maple syrup and coconut or dairy-free yogurt.
  • Pressing the mixture firmly into the muffin tins helps the cups hold their shape after baking.
  • Store granola cups without filling at room temperature in an airtight container for best crispness.
  • If using fresh yogurt as filling, consume within 2-3 days when refrigerated to prevent sogginess.
  • Adding cinnamon is optional but gives a nice warm flavor to the granola.
