Description
Delightfully simple and wholesome, these Yogurt Filled Granola Cups combine the crunch of oats and peanut butter with creamy vanilla yogurt and fresh berries, making a perfect healthy snack or breakfast treat that can be prepared in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Granola Cups
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
Filling and Topping
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- Fresh raspberries (or your favorite berries)
- Optional: a small dollop of reserved peanut butter for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get ready for baking the granola cups.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the old-fashioned oats, peanut butter, and maple syrup thoroughly until the mixture is slightly sticky and holds together without being too wet.
- Form the Oat Cups: Evenly scoop the oat mixture into 6 greased muffin cups. Press down gently with the bottom of a small glass or your fingers to create a cup shape in each muffin tin.
- Bake: Bake the filled muffin tin in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges of the oat cups turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
- Cool: Allow the oat cups to cool completely inside the muffin tin before carefully removing them to avoid breaking.
- Assemble: Once cooled, fill each granola cup with about 1/4 cup of vanilla yogurt. Top each with fresh raspberries or any berries of your choice and optionally add a small dollop of reserved peanut butter for extra flavor.
- Serve: Serve these granola cups immediately or store them refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt instead of vanilla yogurt.
- Try different berries or add nuts and seeds for extra texture and flavor.
- Make sure to press the mixture firmly to help the cups hold their shape during baking.
- These granola cups are best consumed within 2 days when refrigerated.
