Why You’ll Love This Recipe

- Healthy and satisfying: Packed with protein-rich Greek yogurt, fiber-filled granola, and fruit.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup)
- 3/4 cup granola
- 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup sliced berries (or fruit of choice)
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
- Honey drizzle (optional)
Directions
- Prep Your Muffin Tin: Line a standard muffin tray with 6 paper or silicone cupcake liners. This will make removing the frozen cups a breeze later on.
- Make the Granola Base: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey until smooth. Fold in the granola, stirring to coat every piece evenly with the sticky mixture.
- Fill the Liners: Spoon the granola blend equally among the 6 liners. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small measuring cup to firmly press the mixture into a compact, even base in each liner.
- Add the Yogurt Layer: Dollop about 2-3 tablespoons of whole milk Greek yogurt on top of each granola base, spreading it to cover the surface right up to the edges of the liner.
- Top and Decorate: Arrange your sliced berries (or other favorite fruit) and sprinkle each cup with chopped walnuts. For extra sweetness and shine, drizzle a touch more honey on top, if desired.
- Freeze: Place the muffin tray in the freezer and allow the cups to firm up for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until completely frozen.
- Release and Enjoy: When ready to serve, let the cups sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes so they release easily. Gently pull the liners to lift out each cup without breaking.
- Store for Later: If you’re not eating them right away, transfer the frozen cups to an airtight container and keep them in the freezer for a convenient grab-and-go snack anytime.
Notes
- For extra crunch, use granola with big clusters or add some extra chopped nuts to the base mixture.
- If your nut butter is too thick, microwave it for a few seconds to make it easier to mix and distribute.
- Paper liners work well, but silicone liners make removing the frozen cups even easier and reusable.
Variations
- Chocolate Dream: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the yogurt and use mini chocolate chips as a topping.
- Tropical Paradise: Swap the berries for diced mango and pineapple, and add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
- Seed & Berry Boost: Mix chia seeds into the yogurt and top with a blend of fresh mixed berries.
