Helpful Tips
- If you find your granola is too chunky to form a solid base, try pulsing it briefly in a food processor to create smaller bits that stick together more easily.
- Experiment with different yogurt flavors like honey or lemon to change the profile, but ensure you use thick Greek yogurt to maintain the best frozen consistency.
- To keep the fruit from becoming too icy and hard, slice the strawberries into very small pieces and press them firmly into the yogurt layer.
- For an extra layer of flavor and crunch, add a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds or a few mini dark chocolate chips on top before freezing.
- To ensure the cups do not stick, always use high-quality silicone liners or grease your paper liners lightly with a tiny bit of coconut oil.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners to ensure easy removal after freezing.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the granola, 2 tablespoons of honey, and melted coconut oil, stirring until the granola is evenly coated.
- Press about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the granola mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner, packing it down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a solid crust.
- Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt over the granola base in each cup, smoothing the top with your spoon.
- Top each cup with a few blueberries and a sprinkle of diced strawberries, pressing the fruit slightly into the yogurt layer.
- Drizzle the tops with a little extra honey if desired for a touch of added sweetness.
- Place the muffin tin in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm and set.
- Once frozen, remove the cups from the liners and enjoy immediately, or store them for a quick snack later.

Variations & Serving Ideas
To enjoy these at their best, take them out of the freezer just a minute or two before you plan to eat them so they are cold but easy to bite into. They are a wonderful addition to a healthy breakfast buffet alongside fresh fruit skewers and whole-grain muffins. If you are making these for kids, consider using colorful silicone liners to make them even more appealing and fun to eat. Store any leftover cups in a sealed freezer bag or an airtight container with parchment paper separating the layers to prevent them from sticking together.
