Total Time:1 hour 10 minutes
Yield:6 servings
Ingredients
Granola Cups
1 ½ cup rolled oats
1 banana
¼ cup raw honey
Toppings
1 cup yogurt of your choice
Strawberries, for serving
Blueberries, for serving
Instructions
Mash the Banana: In a medium bowl, mash the banana thoroughly until smooth and slightly creamy to create a natural sweetener and binder.
Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats and raw honey to the mashed banana. Mix everything until well combined and the mixture starts to hold together.
Form the Cups: Spoon the oat mixture into a muffin pan, dividing it evenly among 6 cups. Press the mixture firmly against the bottom and sides to form cup-shaped bases.
Freeze the Cups: Place the muffin tray in the freezer and freeze the cups for 30 minutes to help them set before baking.
Bake the Cups: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the frozen cups for 30 minutes until they are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes to firm up.
Add Toppings and Serve: Once cooled, top each granola cup with a spoonful of yogurt and fresh strawberries and blueberries. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture with creamy and fresh flavors.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt for a thicker and protein-rich filling.
Substitute raw honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
The granola cups can be prepared a day ahead and stored in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
Feel free to add nuts or seeds into the oat mixture for extra texture and nutrition.
Ensure the banana is ripe for natural sweetness and good binding.
