Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup yogurt (for filling)
- Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, chopped nuts, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Scoop the mixture into the muffin tin and press firmly into the bottom and sides to form cups.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the granola cups to cool completely before removing from the tin.
- Fill each cup with yogurt and top with fresh fruit before serving.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to make the recipe vegan.
- Store unfilled granola cups in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Do not overbake, as the cups will harden as they cool.
- Try adding dried fruits or seeds for extra texture.
