How to Make Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups
Step 1: Make the Granola Base
In a bowl, mix together:
- Oats
- Cinnamon
- Almond butter
- Honey
- Vanilla
Stir until a sticky dough forms. If it feels too dry, add a bit more almond butter or honey.
Step 2: Form the Cups
Line a muffin tin with liners (or lightly grease it).
Press a spoonful of the granola mixture firmly into the bottom of each cup to create a sturdy crust.
Step 3: Add the Yogurt
Spoon Greek yogurt over each granola base.
Top with fresh berries and a sprinkle of extra granola if desired.
Step 4: Freeze
Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Let thaw for 5–10 minutes before serving so they’re easy to bite into.
Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight container or freezer bag.
- Keep frozen for up to 2 months.
- Always let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.
Expert Tips for Best Results
- Line the muffin tin for easy removal.
