Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups
A cold, creamy, and convenient meal prep snack featuring a crunchy peanut butter granola base topped with tangy Greek yogurt and a beautiful marbled blueberry swirl.
Equipment
- Muffin tin or silicone molds
- Small saucepan
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 150 g granola (1 cup)
- 2 tbsp. honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp. peanut butter
- 360 g plain Greek yogurt (1 1/2 cups)
- 140 g blueberries fresh or frozen (3/4 cup) + extra
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Granola Base
- Combine the honey and peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20 seconds. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Place the granola in a large bowl and pour the peanut butter mixture over it. Stir until the oats are well coated and sticky.
- Divide the mixture among 12 muffin tins or silicone molds, pressing down firmly to create a solid base. Freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until set.
Cook the Blueberry Swirl
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and sugar. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, mashing the berries until they release their juices and the sauce thickens. Let the sauce cool completely.
Assemble the Cups
- Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt onto each frozen granola base. Top each cup with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cooled blueberry sauce.
- Using a toothpick or skewer, lightly swirl the blueberry sauce into the yogurt to create a marbled pattern.
Freeze Until Set
- Garnish with extra berries or granola if desired. Freeze the cups for 1 to 2 hours until they are fully solid.
- Remove from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to ensure a creamy texture.
Notes
Pro Tip: Use silicone liners for easy removal. They peel away cleanly from the frozen yogurt, whereas paper liners may stick.
Texture Secret: Allowing the cups to thaw for 5 to 10 minutes before eating transforms them from icy to a creamy, custard-like consistency.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 60 days. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent the cups from sticking together.
