Granola Yogurt Treats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Granola Base
01 -
½ cup peanut butter
02 -
1 ½ cups rolled oats
03 -
½ tsp cinnamon (totally optional but worth it)
04 -
⅓ cup maple syrup
05 -
Pinch of salt (a nice touch but optional)
06 -
½ tsp vanilla extract (not required but a tasty addition)
→ Toppings
07 -
Chia seeds
08 -
Fresh fruit
09 -
Any yogurt you like
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up. Grab a muffin pan and grease 6 spots with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray so nothing sticks.
02 -
Grab a medium bowl and throw in the oats, maple syrup, peanut butter, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the oats are coated and sticky.
03 -
Scoop the granola mixture into the 6 greased muffin spots. Press it down and shape it into little cups against the sides to make a hollow center for the yogurt.
04 -
Pop the muffin pan into your preheated oven. Let them bake for about 12-15 minutes, keeping an eye on them until the edges look lightly golden. Don’t let them burn!
05 -
Once out of the oven, leave the cups in the muffin pan for 5 minutes to set. Use a knife to carefully loosen the edges and gently lift them out. Move them to a rack to cool off completely.
06 -
When the cups are totally cool, spoon yogurt into each one. Top them with fresh fruit, chia seeds, or whatever else you’re into like nuts or honey.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make these ahead and keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
02 -
Freeze unused granola cups for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temp before filling.
03 -
For a toasted flavor, bake the oats on their own for 5-7 minutes before mixing them into the granola mix.
04 -
Switch things up based on your diet—use your favorite nut butter, sweetener, or yogurt.
