Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (your favorite mix, ideally with nuts and dried fruits)

1 cup fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts for added crunch)

Optional: 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutritional boost

Instructions
 

Create the Yogurt Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly blended and smooth. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or syrup if desired.

    Prepare Muffin Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone muffin cups to ensure easy removal once frozen. This step is crucial for a hassle-free serving experience.

      Layering Process: Begin by adding a generous spoonful of the yogurt mixture into each muffin cup, filling them approximately halfway. On top of the yogurt, sprinkle a layer of granola, followed by a colorful assortment of fresh mixed berries. Repeat this layering technique, adding another dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of granola, and more berries until you reach just below the top edge of each cup.

        Finalize the Cups: To enhance the texture and flavor of your cups, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top layer. If you’re opting for the chia seeds or flaxseeds, now is the perfect time to add them as well.

          Freeze the Cups: Place the filled muffin tin in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until each cup is completely solidified. This will help maintain their shape during the removal process.

            Serving the Treats: Once fully frozen, gently remove the cups from the muffin tin and peel away the liners. You can enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks to savor later.

              Indulge: These frozen granola cups make for a delightful and healthy snack, a refreshing breakfast treat, or a satisfying dessert on a warm day!
