Granola Breakfast Cups with Yogurt and Berries
Servings: cups
These Granola Breakfast Cups are the most delicious way to eat granola! Instead of just sprinkling granola over a dish of yogurt and berries, this version turns the granola into the cup itself. Your kids will want to eat these every day!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about half a banana mashed)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or regular yogurt (plain, vanilla or sub in desired flavor)
- 1/2 cup Mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tray with 9 silicone muffin cups. Alternatively, you can grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or coconut oil. This is an important step as this will help you get the granola cups out much more easily.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, mashed banana, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined (it helps if you use your hands). Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
- Split the granola mixture evenly between the 9 muffin holes.
- Next, use your fingers or back of a spoon to shape the granola into little cups, forming a hollow center.
- Bake the granola cups in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
- Allow the cups to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan. Otherwise they might fall apart.
- When they are ready to be removed from the muffin pan, carefully pop them out of the silicone cups or gently slide a paring knife along the edges of the cups, to loosen them from the muffin tin.
- Fill them with yogurt and top with mixed berries. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Silicone baking cups work best for this recipe to allow you to easily remove the granola cups from the muffin tin. You can use a well-greased muffin tin as well, but the cups may be more likely to stick and potentially breakfast when trying to remove them.
- Be sure to allow the granola cups to fully cool before removing them from the tin to give them time to firm up.
- You can use any type of yogurt to fill these peanut butter granola cups. We like to use a low sugar vanilla Greek yogurt, but feel free to sub in your favorite.
- I cut little hearts out of strawberries using a mini cookie cutter to add some extra cuteness, but you can easily just top with chopped strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries or other fruit of choice.
