Granola Cups

Serves12

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • nonstick baking spray with flour (such as Baker's Joy®)
  • 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt, or as needed
  • 1 cup fresh berries, or as needed

Instructions

1

Place butter and maple syrup in a large bowl and place into the microwave. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after every 30 seconds, until butter is melted, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove bowl from microwave and add in vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Stir until thoroughly combined. Add in oats, almonds, coconut, and flax meal. Stir until mixture is thoroughly combined.

2

Generously grease a standard muffin tin with nonstick baking spray with flour.

3

Divide oat mixture evenly between the muffin cups, about 2 heaped tablespoons per cup. With wet hands, press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each cup. Place the pan into the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.

4

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

5

Bake chilled granola cups in the preheated oven until the outside edges of cups turn golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove cups from the oven; cool to room temperature in the pan, about 30 minutes.

6

Use an offset spatula or butter knife to pop them out of the pan. To serve, fill each granola cup with yogurt and top with berries. Serve immediately.
