# Ingredients:
→ Granola Base
01 -
Pinch of salt (optional but worth it)
02 -
½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional, but adds flavor)
03 -
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
04 -
½ cup creamy peanut butter
05 -
½ tsp vanilla extract (totally optional)
06 -
1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
→ Toppings
07 -
Fresh fruit slices
08 -
Favorite yogurt
09 -
A sprinkle of chia seeds
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up. Coat 6 muffin cups lightly with a bit of coconut oil or use cooking spray to keep things from sticking.
02 -
Throw the oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and, if you're using it, vanilla into a medium-sized bowl. Stir until everything gets nicely coated and combined.
03 -
Split the granola evenly into the greased muffin cups. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to shape the mixture, pressing it down to form a little cup with some space in the middle for the filling.
04 -
Bake the granola cups for around 12-15 minutes, until the edges begin to look golden. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
05 -
Take the muffin pan out and leave the cups there to cool for about 5 minutes. Once they feel a little set, gently loosen each cup using a knife and carefully remove them. Place on a rack to cool fully.
06 -
When the granola cups are completely cooled, add a scoop of yogurt in each. Top them off with fresh fruit, chia seeds, or anything else you like, like nuts, honey, or extra granola.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make these ahead of time and keep them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
02 -
Freeze unfilled cups for as long as 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature, then fill them up.
03 -
Want a toastier vibe? Toss the oats in the oven for 5-7 minutes before mixing everything together.
04 -
Switch flavors up! Use whichever nut butter, sweetener, or yogurt works for your needs.
