How to Make Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups (Step-by-Step)
Prepare the Granola Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more almond butter or maple syrup until it holds together.
Form the Cups
Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Add a spoonful of the granola mixture into each cup and press it firmly into the bottom using your fingers to create a solid base. Make sure the base is compact so it holds together after freezing.
Add the Yogurt
Spoon the vanilla vegan yogurt into each granola cup, spreading it evenly over the base.
Add Toppings
Top each cup with your choice of berries. You can also sprinkle a little extra granola on top for added texture.
Freeze Until Set
Place the muffin pan in the freezer for up to 3 hours, or until the yogurt is fully set.
Thaw and Serve
Remove the frozen yogurt granola cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This makes them easier to bite into and enhances the flavor.
Substitutions and Variations
These frozen yogurt granola cups are easy to customize based on your preferences:
Peanut Butter Option
Swap almond butter for peanut butter for a richer flavor.
Greek Yogurt Version
Use regular or Greek yogurt if you’re not dairy-free.
Different Fruits
Try strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or even sliced bananas.
Chocolate Twist
Add mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top.
Nut-Free Option
Use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter.
