I love how quick and customizable these cups are. They’re easy to prep in batches, fun to decorate with different toppings, and totally kid-friendly. Whether I’m grabbing one on the go or serving them at a brunch table, they always feel like a mini indulgence—without the guilt.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Granola (homemade or store-bought)

• Honey or maple syrup (to bind the granola layer)

• Coconut oil or nut butter (optional, for added richness)

• Greek yogurt or regular yogurt (plain or flavored)

• Fresh fruit (like berries, kiwi, or banana slices)

• Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, shredded coconut, nuts

Directions

1. I line a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners.

2. I mix granola with a little honey (and coconut oil or nut butter if I want it more firm) and press a few spoonfuls into the bottom of each liner to form the crust.

3. I spoon in a layer of yogurt, smoothing it out with the back of the spoon.

4. I top each cup with fresh fruit and any other toppings I like.

5. I freeze the tray for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt is fully set.

6. When ready to eat, I let them sit at room temperature for a couple minutes before removing them from the liners.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 12 mini cups. It takes about 10 minutes to prep and 2 hours to freeze—ready in just over 2 hours.

Variations

Sometimes I swirl a bit of fruit puree or jam into the yogurt for extra flavor. I’ve also used dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version, or added a spoonful of peanut butter between the granola and yogurt layers for extra richness.

storage/reheating

I store the frozen yogurt granola cups in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks. I let them thaw for 2–3 minutes at room temperature before eating for the perfect texture.

FAQs

Can I use any kind of yogurt?

Yes, I use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture, but regular or plant-based yogurts work well too.

How do I keep the granola crust from falling apart?

I mix it with honey or nut butter to help bind it, and press it firmly into the muffin cups before adding the yogurt.

Can I make these without muffin liners?

I recommend liners or silicone molds to make removal easy. Without them, the cups may stick to the pan.

Are these good for meal prep?

Definitely. I prep a batch ahead of time and keep them in the freezer for grab-and-go snacks all week.

Can I make a bigger version instead of mini cups?

Yes, I use a small baking dish and layer everything, then slice into bars once frozen.

Conclusion

Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups are one of my favorite healthy treats—cool, creamy, crunchy, and naturally sweet. They’re super easy to make, totally versatile, and perfect for warm weather or anytime I want something light and refreshing. Whether I’m making a batch for breakfast or dessert, they always disappear fast.
