🍽 INGREDIENTS
For the Granola Cups:
- 2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- ½ cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 1½ cups Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan)
- 1 tbsp honey or agave
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Optional toppings:
- Chia seeds
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Dark chocolate drizzle
📝 INSTRUCTIONS
1. MAKE THE CUPS:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin very well or use silicone molds.
- In a bowl, mix oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk honey, almond butter, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over dry ingredients and mix until fully coated.
2. SHAPE & BAKE:
- Press 2 tbsp mixture into each muffin cup, forming a cup shape with your fingers (go up the sides!).
- Bake for 18-20 mins until golden. Let cool completely in the tin (they’ll crisp up as they cool).
3. FILL & SERVE:
- Whisk yogurt with honey and lemon zest. Spoon into cooled cups.
- Top with berries and optional toppings.
4. STORAGE:
- Keep unfilled cups airtight for 1 week. Fill with yogurt just before serving to prevent sogginess.
