Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
Prepare the Granola Base:
In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats and chopped nuts. Add melted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.
Form the Cups:
Press the mixture firmly into the muffin cups to form sturdy bases. You want the mixture to hold together once baked.
Bake the Granola Cups:
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before removing.
Assemble the Cups:
Once the granola cups have cooled, fill each cup with your choice of yogurt. Top with fresh fruits such as berries or sliced bananas for added flavor.
Serve:
Enjoy these delicious and nutritious granola cups immediately or store them for later.
