Ingredients
Scale
Granola Base
- 3/4 cup oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 3–4 tbsp honey (adjust based 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, raspberries, or strawberries) to top
Instructions
- Prepare the granola dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients form a sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add additional almond butter and honey, a little at a time, until the dough holds together well.
- Form the granola base: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Take a spoonful of the granola dough and press it firmly into the bottom of each muffin liner to create a sturdy base. Ensure it is compact to hold the filling properly.
- Add the yogurt and toppings: Spoon an even amount of Greek yogurt over each granola base. Next, top each cup with fresh berries and any remaining granola mixture for extra crunch.
- Freeze the cups: Place the muffin pan in the freezer and allow the granola cups to freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm. Before serving, let them thaw at room temperature for a few minutes for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture; low-fat or fat-free works for lower calorie options.
- If almond butter is too thick or hard to mix, slightly warm it to loosen before combining.
- Honey quantity can be adjusted based on natural sweetness preference.
- These cups store well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Let cups thaw 5-10 minutes before eating to soften the yogurt for easier eating.
- Try adding chopped nuts or seeds to the granola dough for extra texture and nutrients.
