Base Granola Cup Recipe

- ½ cup strawberries (freshly cubed or sliced)
- ¼ cup vegan graham crackers (or Biscoff, crushed)

- 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes
- 1-2 tablespoon cookies (like Biscoff, crumbled )
Topping Idea: Tropical Crunch Yogurt Cups
- ¼ cup mango and/or pineapple chunks

Topping Idea: Peanut Butter & Jelly Yogurt Cups
- 1-2 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons mixed berry compote or jam
- 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
- Optional: 2-3 fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F
- In a bowl, mix oats, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- Press mixture firmly into silicone muffin molds or a muffin tin.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Take out of the ofen and let them cool completely in their molds before removing. Do not skip, if you try to remove them while they're still warm, they will break apart. We like to prepare the granola cups the night before, let them cool overnight, and then remove cups the next morning.
- Whisk yogurt with optional protein powder or nut butter. Flavor and sweetend as desired.
- Spoon yogurt into granola cups and top with your chosen flavor toppings. You can find a variety of flavor variation options in the ingredient section.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Pro tip: When using peanut butter, warm the peanut butter with 10 second increments in the microwave (stir in between), until it’s super soft (not hot) and drizzable. This will help you swirl it into the yogurt seamlessly for a beautiful marbled effect. It also makes the yogurt cups look more visually appealing. Plus, it helps the peanut butter flavor distribute more evenly in every bite.
