Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups granola (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
• 1 cup fresh fruit (berries, mango, kiwi, etc.)
• Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, chocolate drizzle, or chia seeds

Instructions

1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners (silicone liners work best for easy removal).
2. In a bowl, mix the granola with honey or maple syrup to help it stick together.
3. Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of granola mixture into each liner and press it down gently to form a crust.
4. Top each crust with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, spreading it evenly.
5. Add your favorite fruits on top — get creative with color and combinations!
6. Sprinkle extra toppings if you like (coconut, nuts, or chocolate chips).
7. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
8. Once frozen, remove the cups from the liners and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
9. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the perfect creamy texture!

Helpful Tips

• Use thick yogurt: Greek yogurt works best because it holds its shape and gives a rich, creamy texture.
• Press the granola base firmly: This helps it stay together when frozen and prevents crumbling.
• Make them bite-sized: Use mini muffin tins for smaller, poppable snacks.
• Storage tip: These last up to 1 month in the freezer — perfect for meal prep or healthy snacking.

Frequently Asked Questions

2. Can I make them dairy-free? Absolutely! Use coconut or almond-based yogurt instead of dairy.
3. Do I have to thaw them before eating? Just let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes — they’ll soften to a creamy texture.
