Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, cashews), chopped
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup honey, for drizzling
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped mixed nuts, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined and coated in the honey and oil mixture.
- Divide the granola mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it down firmly to form a crust. Make sure to create a well in the center of each cup to hold the filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the granola cups are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the muffin tin.
- Once the granola cups have cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
- Fill each granola cup with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and top with fresh mixed berries.
- Drizzle honey over the top for added sweetness, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade breakfast granola cups!
