Serving Size 9 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats or quick-cooking oats (but NOT instant oats)
  • 0.5 cup chopped nuts/seeds/more rolled oats (I used sunflower seeds, but feel free to skip them and just add 0.5 cup more oats)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie/pumpkin pie spice or sub with cinnamon
  • 1 medium banana mashed, or sub with applesauce
  • 3 Tablespoons peanut butter or sub with any nut/seed butter (like almond butter, pumpkin seed butter, etc)
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For the Toppings

  • ½ cup yogurt
  • fresh berries or any other fresh fruits
  • nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 345°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats with the salt and your choice of spice (apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, or cinnamon).
    1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon apple pie/pumpkin pie spice, 0.5 cup chopped nuts/seeds/more rolled oats
  • Then add the mashed banana, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.
    1 medium banana, 3 Tablespoons peanut butter, 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the oat mixture into each silicone muffin cup. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup, forming a well in the center. This will create the "cup" shape that will hold the yogurt.
    Note: If you don't have a silicone muffin tin, first grease your muffin tray with some oil.
  • Bake the granola cups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the sides get crispy. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin before removing them.
  • Once the granola cups are completely cooled, remove them from the muffin tin.
  • Just before serving, fill each cup with about 1 Tablespoon of your favorite yogurt. Then top with the fruits and the optional nuts and seeds. Enjoy!
