Berry Granola Cups

If you are you searching for a delicious, nutritious breakfast option to start your day off right, then look no further than our Berry Granola Cups!

Our berry granola recipe is a great choice for the health conscious folks out there who are looking for a satisfying breakfast or snack.

Why You Will Want to Make Our Berry Granola Cups

Imagine a crispy golden brown granola bowl used as a foundation that embraces a velvety layer of yogurt, then crowned with a vibrant assortment of freshly picked strawberries and blueberries.

Yum, yum and YUM!

Whether you are looking for a hearty, filling breakfast without artificial flavors or are merely looking for a healthier alternative to a bowl of ice cream after dinner, this berry granola recipe is going to make your taste buds swoon!

Granola, yogurt and berries are just a match made in heaven. I love the idea of skipping the triple berry granola parfait for breakfast and serving these cute little cups instead! You can even skip the spoon and just pop them straight into your mouth if you are using a mini muffin pan!

The combination of the crunchy granola and the sweetness of berries reminds me of a berry crisp dessert, and you can definitely throw this together as a quick dessert recipe too! I like to dust it with a bit of coconut sugar when I make it as a dessert.

What Kind of Granola Do You Like?

Here are some key points to keep in mind when selecting and using granola for your berry granola cups:

Go for some top-notch, all-natural granola that is not overly processed and does not have too much sugar or additives.

Check out granola varieties that are packed with whole grains, nuts, and seeds! These ingredients bring extra nutritional value and texture to your cups. Give them a try!

Why not get creative and play around with various flavors of granola, like a deliciously cinnamon infused or extra nutty varieties? It's a fun way to add a unique twist to your cups!

You can even make your own homemade granola so that you have complete control over the ingredients and flavors. This is a good option for folks on special diets or with food allergies. 

KETO Friendly Granola is a great option for Berry Granola

You can even use a KETO or low carb variety to make this more diet-friendly. I personally like the Livlo Keto Nut Granola Cereal brand because it is low carb and keto friendly. No gluten. No grains. No guilt. With just 1g Net Carbs and No Sugar Added, you can go nuts with this low carb snack.

Crunch with confidence knowing that you’re not just avoiding extra carbs and fillers, you’re actually nourishing your body with premium nuts, seeds, and spices when you use this in our berry granola recipe.

What You Need to Know About the Berries in Our Recipe

Berries add a pop of vibrant color, delightful natural sweetness, and a whole bunch of health benefits to your berry granola cups.

Grab some fresh and ripe berries for the ultimate burst of flavor and nutritional goodness! Seek out plump strawberries, juicy blueberries, and any other mouthwatering berries that catch your fancy. Happy berry hunting! 🍓🫐🍇

If fresh berries aren't available, frozen berries can be a handy alternative. Just remember to thaw them before adding to your cups to prevent excess moisture. Happy berry filled cup enjoyment!

Get creative and mix up a few different types of berries to create a delightful medley of flavors and colors! Why not try raspberries, blackberries, or even sliced cherries to add a touch of variety?

Hey, don't forget to give those berries a good wash before you use them. Just to be safe, let's get rid of any dirt or impurities. And remember, pat them dry with a paper towel to make sure they're ready to shine in your berry granola cups!

Directions for how to make our Berry Granola Cups Recipe

In a medium bowl, mash up that banana nice and good!

Then you are going to add in the rolled oats, and the raw honey to the mashed banana and mix it all up until they are well combined.

Now we are going to add the mixture to a muffin pan and divide it evenly between 6 of the muffin cups. Make sure that you push the mixture down into to the edges and bottom, so that you are creating a cup. If you want to use a muffin or cupcake liner, that is okay - but it isn't necessary.

Then freeze the entire muffin tray filled with your raw granola for about 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake the granola cups for 30 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let them cool off for at least 10 minutes.

Make sure that the granola cups are completely cooled down before adding your yogurt, or it will literally just MELT...and ruin the entire thing.

Trust me, I am speaking from experience. Talk about a waste!

Add the yogurt and your delicious little berries to each berry granola cup and serve them immediately.
