Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 1/4 cup Ground Flaxseed
- 3/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp Peanut Butter
- 1 Egg White
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray or coconut oil, set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, flaxseed and cinnamon and stir together with a spatula.
- To a small microwave safe bowl, add the maple syrup and peanut butter. Microwave for 20-25 seconds just to soften the peanut butter so it is easy to stir.
- Next, pour the peanut butter mixture into the oat mixture. Stir together with a spatula, making sure that all dry ingredients are coated in the wet ingredients.
- Whisk the egg white with a fork until slightly frothy then pour into the oat mixture and stir together.
- Divide the oat mixture into 8 muffin cups. Using your fingers, press the the mixture into the muffin tin to form cup shapes. Continue with the remaining granola cups.
- Place muffin tin into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the granola cups just start to turn golden brown.
- Allow the cups to cool in the muffin tin for at least 15 minutes. This is KEY, otherwise they will fall apart! Then, run a spatula or butter knife around the edge of each cup to gently release from the muffin tin.
- To serve, fill each cup with a spoonful of Greek Yogurt and top with fresh berries. Enjoy!
