Ingredients and Variations
Granola - Use your preferred store-bought or homemade granola mixture.
Honey and Coconut Oil - Needed for the base of the granola cups. You can use plain or fruit-flavored honey.
Honey (or other preferred sweetener) is also needed for the strawberry filling.
Strawberries - You will need fresh strawberries for this recipe. You can use ugly-looking overripe strawberries for the puree.
Yogurt - Use plain, low-fat yogurt. Greek yogurt works perfectly for this recipe, but any other plain yogurt is fine.
Shredded coconut - Optional, but pairs perfectly with strawberry flavours.
Vanilla Extract - Optional, flavour enhancer.
Kitchen Equipment
For these frozen strawberry granola cups, you will need:
- Weighing scale/cups
- Large mixing bowl
- Spatula/Wooden Spoon
- Blender
- Silicone muffin molds or baking pan and parchment paper
For this recipe, I very much prefer to use a set of silicone muffin molds as I find it really easy to pop out the frozen granola.
If you don't have silicone muffin molds, a regular 9x9" baking pan will work well too - just make sure to line it with parchment paper!
How to Make Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Granola Cups
Make the Granola Base
Melt and combine honey and coconut oil by warming them in a microwave.
Place granola in a large mixing bowl, and stir in melted honey and coconut oil.
Divide the mixture between 12 silicone muffin molds, pressing the granola at the bottom of the mold using the back of a spoon.
Alternatively, line a baking tray (or glass baking tray) with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture at the bottom of the tray.
Prepare the Strawberry Yogurt Filling
Wash, hull and cut strawberries in half. Blend with honey (or sweetener of choice) until smooth.
Transfer strawberry puree into a large bowl and stir in Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, and vanilla, if using.
Divide the mixture between muffin molds, placing 1-2 tablespoons over the granola base.
Freeze
Sprinkle with shredded coconut, and pop them in the freezer for 1-2 hours or until set.
Pop out the granola cups from silicone molds, allow to thaw slightly, and enjoy. Alternatively, if using a baking tray, pull out the parchment paper, slice into bars, and serve.
Making Ahead
These frozen treats are perfect to make ahead. They can be frozen for up to 2 months! Thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before serving.
Make it Vegan
To make vegan frozen strawberry yogurt granola cups, swap Greek yogurt with your favourite plain vegan yogurt and substitute honey with pure vegan-friendly maple syrup!
