Ingredients
1 ½ cups rolled oats
½ cup peanut butter (runny consistency)
⅓ cup maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
½ tsp cinnamon (optional but recommended)
Pinch salt (optional but recommended)
Coconut oil (for greasing muffin pan)
Yogurt (for topping)
Fresh fruit (for topping)
Chia seeds (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease 6 cavities of a muffin pan with coconut oil.
Add the rolled oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl and mix until fully combined.
Divide the mixture evenly among the greased muffin cups. Press the mixture into each cavity and create a well in the center using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Allow the cups to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then gently remove with a knife and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Fill each granola cup with yogurt and top with fresh fruit, chia seeds, or any other desired toppings before serving.
Notes
Use thick yogurt such as Greek yogurt so the cups hold their shape better.
Allow the granola cups to cool completely before filling to prevent the yogurt from melting.
You can store the empty granola cups in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Try toppings like berries, banana slices, nuts, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey.
