Why I Love This Recipe
The first time I made these, I wanted something sweet but still fresh and easy. I had yogurt, granola, and berries in the fridge, so I pressed the granola into a muffin tin and hoped for the best. After they froze, they popped out like cute little breakfast bites.
I love this recipe because:
It uses simple ingredients.
You do not need to bake anything.
The texture is so good: crunchy bottom, creamy middle, juicy fruit on top.
You can make them ahead and grab one when you want something cold and sweet.
They look pretty with very little work.

Recipe and Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Granola Base
In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups granola, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil. Mix until the granola looks lightly coated and sticky.
Step 2: Press Granola Into Cups
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners. Spoon the sticky granola mixture into each cup. Press it firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to make little cups.
Step 3: Add the Yogurt
Spoon 1 1/2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt evenly into the granola cups. Smooth the tops gently with the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Add Fruit and Honey
Top the yogurt cups with 1/2 cup diced strawberries and 1/2 cup blueberries. Drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the tops.
Step 5: Freeze and Serve
Freeze the cups for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Let them sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes before eating so they soften a little.
Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
Honey and coconut oil help the granola stick together. When the cups freeze, the yogurt firms up and holds its shape. Greek yogurt works best because it is thicker than regular yogurt, so the cups stay creamy instead of icy.
Pro Tips
Press the granola down firmly so the cups do not crumble.
Use thick Greek yogurt for the best texture.
Dice the strawberries small so every bite gets fruit.
Let the cups soften for a few minutes before eating.
Use silicone liners if you want the cups to pop out easily.
Substitutions and Variations
Use maple syrup instead of honey.
Use plain Greek yogurt and add a little vanilla.
Swap strawberries and blueberries for raspberries, peaches, or mango.
Use chocolate chips or coconut flakes on top.
Use dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free version.
Make Ahead Tips
These are perfect to make ahead. Freeze them in the muffin tin first, then move them to a freezer-safe bag or container once firm.
Leftovers and Storage
Store Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups in the freezer for up to 1 month. Keep them covered so they do not pick up freezer smells. Let one sit out for 3 to 5 minutes before eating.
