🥒 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 Cups)
- ✅ 3/4 cup oats (old-fashioned rolled oats work best)
- ✅ 1/2 tsp cinnamon (warm, cozy flavor)
- ✅ 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- ✅ 3–4 tbsp honey (adjust to your sweetness level)
- ✅ 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ✅ 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored, your call)*
- ✅ Berries of choice (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries – mix it up!)
Chef’s Note:
If you’re using plain yogurt, add a splash of vanilla and honey or maple syrup to sweeten it to taste.
🌊 Directions
1️⃣ Make the Granola Base
Grab a bowl and toss in your oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla. Mix it all up until it forms a sticky dough. If it feels dry, no sweat—add a bit more almond butter or honey until it holds together.
2️⃣ Line & Press
Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Spoon a bit of your oat mixture into each cup and press it down firmly with your fingers. This is your crispy base, so make it sturdy!
3️⃣ Fill with Yogurt
Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt into each granola cup. You can swirl in some vanilla or honey here if your yogurt is plain.
4️⃣ Top with Berries
Pile on your berries of choice. Get artsy with the colors—make it beautiful, because we eat with our eyes first!
5️⃣ Freeze & Chill
Pop the tray into the freezer for at least 4 hours. Once they’re frozen solid, they’re ready to rock. Let them thaw for a couple of minutes before serving so the texture is perfect.
