Ingredients
Granola Cups
- 120g smooth, runny peanut or almond butter
- 4 tbsp date syrup
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 200g low sugar nuts and seeds granola
Filling and Topping
- 120g thick coconut yoghurt
- Fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) – quantity as desired
- 1 tbsp crushed pistachios
- 1 tbsp low sugar nuts and seeds granola
Instructions
- Make the granola cup mixture: In a bowl, stir together the peanut butter, date syrup, and melted coconut oil until smooth and well combined. Then pour in the granola and mix thoroughly to form a sticky granola mixture.
- Shape the cups: Divide the granola mixture into 8 equal balls. Press each ball firmly into the hole of a silicone or paper cupcake tray lined with cases, using a teaspoon to create a hollow cup shape in the center for filling.
- Freeze to set: Place the tray in the freezer and chill for 30 minutes to allow the granola cups to firm up and hold their shape.
- Fill and decorate: Carefully remove each granola cup from the tray. Fill each cup with thick coconut yoghurt, then top with fresh berries, crushed pistachios, and a sprinkle of extra granola for added texture and flavor.
- Serve or store: Enjoy the breakfast cups immediately or keep them stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days. For longer storage, wrap well and freeze for up to 1 month, enjoying them frozen if preferred.
Notes
- Use silicone cupcake trays for easy removal of granola cups.
- Feel free to substitute date syrup with maple syrup if unavailable.
- You can customize the nuts, seeds, and berries based on preference or seasonal availability.
- For a nut-free version, try using sunflower seed butter instead of peanut or almond butter and select nut-free granola.
- Keep granola cups tightly wrapped if freezing to prevent freezer burn.
