These granola cups are quick and simple to make, and will keep in an airtight container for a couple of days, meaning they are a great make ahead breakfast – just add a spoonful of yogurt and handful of berries and you’re done!
These granola cups filled with yogurt and fruit are for my mum. It’s mothers day this weekend in the UK, and one of her favourite breakfasts in granola with fruit and yogurt. So, although I can’t be with you to make these for you mum, hope you enjoy!
The sesame seeds add a savoury note, which I love, but if you don’t have them or don’t like them, feel free to leave them out.
Mini Jones (at 19 months) loves them too, as breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Make them your granola cups:
Dairy free? The granola cups themselves don’t contain any dairy, so serve them with a dairy free yogurt.
Gluten free? Check your oats are gluten free as not all of them are.
Mix it up: Use coconut yogurt instead plain greek yogurt, and top with pineapple or mango.
Compote: Top the yogurt with strawberry compote instead of fresh berries.

Granola Cups
Author: Robyn
These granola cups are an easy & healthy make ahead breakfast or brunch idea – as well as a delicious snack!
Ingredients
- 100g (1 c) oats ($0.19 /£0.07p)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ($0.11 /£0.04p)
- 1.5 tablespoons unsweetened desiccated coconut ($0.18 /£0.17p)
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil – plus extra for greasing tin ($0.32 /£0.12p)
- 1.5 tablespoons runny honey ($0.30 /£0.09p)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, optional ($0.04 /£0.15p)
- Filling
- 5 tablespoons plain greek yogurt ($0.44 /£0.22p)
- handful strawberries, blueberries or raspberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170˚C/340˚F.
- Lightly grease 5 holes of a muffin/cupcake tray with olive oil – around ½ teaspoon should grease them all.
- Place all the ingredients in a mini blender and blitz for a minute until everything is well combined.
- Take 1.5 tablespoon mixture and place it in tin. With slightly damp hands, press the mixture up the sides.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let sit in the tin for 10 minutes. If you try to remove the granola cups whilst warm they are likely to crumble.
- Cool completely on wire rack. Store granola cups in an airtight container at room temperature.
- To serve, fill the granola cups with 1 tablespoon greek yogurt and top with a few mixed berries. Eat straight away.
Notes
Estimated costs (Granola cups only – berry prices vary too much to give a proper estimate): Australia $1.14. Per granola cup = $0.23
UK £0.64. Per serve = £0.13p
America – I am yet to calculate the estimated ingredients costs to make this recipe in the US. If you would find it useful please let me know and I’ll get calculating 🙂
Oats – porridge oats or quick oats are best for this recipe, especially when making these granola cups for kids.
