⅓ cup of maple syrup

08 -
Freshly sliced fruit
09 -
Crunchy chia seeds
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up. Use cooking spray or coconut oil to grease six muffin cups lightly so nothing sticks.
02 -
Grab a medium bowl and toss in the oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Stir well so everything sticks together and the oats are coated all over.
03 -
Scoop the granola mixture evenly into the six muffin slots. Use a spoon or your fingers to press it flat and shape a little hollow in the center where the yogurt will go later.
04 -
Put the muffin pan into the oven, and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it—once the edges look golden, it’s time to pull them out before they over-brown.
05 -
Let these cool in the muffin pan for about 5 minutes so they don’t crumble. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
06 -
After they’ve cooled, fill each granola cup with yogurt. Add fresh fruits, sprinkle chia seeds, and throw on any extras like honey, nuts, or more granola if you want.
# Notes:
01 -
Once made, these cups can last up to 5 days if you keep them in an airtight container.
02 -
If you freeze the cups without filling them, they’re good for up to 3 months. Just let them thaw before adding yogurt.
03 -
Make them nuttier by toasting the oats for a few minutes before starting.
04 -
You can mix and match with whatever nut butter, sweetener, or yogurt fits your preferences or dietary needs.
