With only 3 ingredients you can make these cute, easy breakfast granola cups.

Easy breakfast granola cups

These granola cups are crunchy and firm. They can be stored outside the refrigerator for almost a week without losing their shape. But I promise they will not last that long 🙂. It's an easy, fun and healthy way to serve breakfast to your kids, or for after school snack. When my boys first saw the empty granola shells, they started making a mental list of the ingredients they wanted to use to fill them with, and of course, chocolate was the first one 🙂 .

As I said before, only 3 ingredients. Oats, honey and a splash of oil. What if you don´t have honey? well, you can use maple syrup without a problem.

Divided the oatmeal into each muffin pan. If you're like me, and like to measure everything up, I added 2 and a half spoons into each mold. Press the mixture with a teaspoon or greased fingers, until it is compact.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Wait another 5 minutes before removing them from the mold.

Let them cool completely on a cooling rack. Fillings? That's the fun part!

What´s your favorite filling? need some ideas?

 

What can I use to fill this granola cups with?

  • a little bit of  yogurt and fruit, very simple
  • how about this yummy sugar free peanut butter chocolate ice cream
  • or this peach ice cream
  • or pineapple coconut ice cream
  • if I give into my boys request? a bit of nutella with some sliced  bananas

What would you fill these granola cups with at home?

    I’m thinking of trying this recipe using a mini muffin tin. I think I will need to reduce the cooking time?

      Yes. Check them after 15 minutes, if they are golden brown, you can remove them from the oven.

    Such a brilliant idea! I can think of so many things I'd love to fill these little cups with. First of all I'd try quark, cinnamon and stewed apple though as it's something I'm experimenting with right now!

    I think I'd go with your boys with Nutella. 😛 These are perfect to make ahead, right? I haven't had healthy stuff for a long time. I need to try these. Thank you for sharing, Lizet. Happy Fiesta Friday.

    What! 😀 Lizet these are so clever! I absolutely love them! I will use maple syrup (to make them vegan) and I am mentally making a note of fillings as I type! 😛 I think apple compote with coconut yogurt and a sprinkling of cinnamon, almond butter and banana, ooo or a banoffee type dessert instead of breakfast (or for breakfast as they're healthy right)! Thanks so much for bringing these over to Fiesta Friday this week!

    What a great breakfast idea! I think I will make these next week. I will probably fill them with cottage cheese (for extra protein) and berries.
