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.
