The Ingredients
- Rolled oats. Rolled oats work best with this recipe. I use Bob Red’s Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats.
- Almond butter. Cashew or peanut butter can be substituted. Runny nut butter will work the best.
- Maple syrup. Adds a subtle sweetness.
- Coconut oil. When the coconut oil cools it helps to hold the granola cups together.

- Cinnamon. Just a small amount to add flavor.
- Yogurt. Use your favorite yogurt to fill the cups.
- Fresh fruit. Adds a freshness and natural sweetness.

Granola Yogurt Cups (Vegan, Gluten Free)
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats, gluten free if needed
- 1/2 cup runny almond butter, or nut butter of choice*
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch sea salt
- yogurt, for topping
- fresh berries, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Lightly oil 8 muffin molds with coconut oil.
- In a medium sized bowl add the oats, cinnamon and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- In small bowl whisk together the melted coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
- Fill each muffin tin with the mixture. Wet your fingers and press it evenly against the sides of the tin to form a cup shape.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the edges start to turn a golden brown. Let them cool in the muffin tin for at least 15 minutes. Use a butter knife to gently wiggle them out. They should pop out quite easily. Place them on a cooling rack until completely cooled.
- Once cooled, fill them with yogurt and top with fresh fruit. Serve immediately. Keep the unfilled granola cups sealed in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
