Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Absolutely. Regular yogurt works, but keep in mind it’s less thick, so the layers may be a bit softer and might need a little longer in the freezer to firm up.

How do I keep the granola base from sticking to the liners?

Using paper liners helps a lot, but if you still have trouble, silicone muffin moulds are fantastic for easy release—or lightly spray liners with nonstick spray.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes! Swap Greek yogurt for coconut, almond, or any plant-based yogurt you like. Choose a nut-free seed butter if you want to go totally nut-free, too.

Do I need to thaw them before eating?

It’s best to let the cups thaw for about 5 minutes after taking them out of the freezer—this softens the texture slightly and keeps the layers creamy, not icy.

Instructions

Make the Granola Base: In a mixing bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If it seems dry, add a bit more almond butter or honey to help it come together.
Prepare the Muffin Pan: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Place a spoonful of the granola mixture into the bottom of each liner. Press down firmly with your fingers to create a compact and sturdy granola base for each cup.
Add the Yogurt Layer: Spoon a generous amount of Greek yogurt over the granola base in each muffin cup, smoothing out the surface.
Top with Berries: Add your choice of fresh berries onto the yogurt layer. If you have leftover granola, sprinkle it over the top for added crunch.
Freeze: Place the muffin pan in the freezer and let the cups set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve: Before serving, let the cups sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier eating. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

*You can use any type of Greek yogurt, including flavored or non-dairy alternatives according to your preference.
Add other toppings like chopped nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
Cups can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
To prevent sticking, make sure to use muffin liners or silicone cups.
