Granola Cups with Yogurt

WIth Mother’s Day approaching, I am writing this recipe for you that shall bring a smile to her face for breakfast or as a healthy snack (and yours too)! You can make these granola cups and create different kinds of yogurt for them. I’m giving you the recipe for my top three yogurts for the granola cups.

First, things first!!!! Let’s get happy! If you can, turn on your favorite music and get ready to dance in the kitchen! And don’t forget to say a little blessing while you create these. Everyone will taste your gratitude and happiness.

What you will need for the granola cups:

A muffin tin pan (this will make 12 granola cups)

2 ripe bananas

2 cups of gluten free oats

2 tablespoons of chia seeds

¼ cup cacao powder (this is where chocolate comes from)

½ cup of maple syrup

2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil

1 tablespoon of coconut oil to grease your muffin tin

Directions for the granola cups:

Preheat your oven to 350’

Use 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to grease each muffin tin.

Mash your bananas with a fork and add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl and make sure it is well combined.

I use a big spoon of the granola mixture to mash into each muffin and create a bowl with my hands shaping them into cups.

Bake them for 25-30 minutes in the oven on 350’.

When you take them out, let them rest for a little bit to cool down. I take a butter knife and gently go around the muffin tin in a circle to unstick the sides to make it easier for you to take them out of the muffin tin pan.

Now you can add your yogurt filling. :) I’m adding my favorite three yogurt fillings for you to create if you like.

Now do your Happy Dance!
