Ingredients
see the recipe card for quantities.
Nuts - Any nut such as Pecan or Walnut or Cashews or Almonds can be used to make this. No nut to chop them as you are anyway going to pulse them in the food processor.
Oats - I recommend old-fashioned oats for this recipe. Oats adds a chewy texture to our granola cups.
Medjool Dates - Dates are rich in fiber and are naturally sweet. They help you get the mixture sticky.
Nut Butter - Natural peanut butter is best suited for this recipe. You can replace it with cashew butter or almond butter.
Maple Syrup - I like my granola cups sweet. Moreover, maple syrup helps cut out the bitterness of flaxseeds.
Berries - Any berries that are available at home can be used for this recipe. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, or cranberries can be used for this recipe.
Pure Vanilla Extract - To make it fragrant and flavorful, I prefer adding some Pure Vanilla extract into the mix.
Chocolate - Baking Chocolate Bars or Semi-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips or both can be a part of this easy peasy No-bake Granola Cups.
Shredded Coconut - Did you know that Coconut keeps your weight in check? Not, just that, Coconut Keeps your heart healthy. Therefore you cannot miss out on Coconut.
Ground Cinnamon - You cannot underestimate the brilliant nutty taste of ground cinnamon. I bet you'll love the after-taste of ground cinnamon.
Fine Sea Salt - Just a pinch of salt to get everything straightened out.
How to make No Bake Granola Cups
Step 1: Pulse
Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until they come together and look sort of like they are sticking to each other.
Step 2: Place in a Muffin tin
Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Scoop out a portion of granola mixture from the food processor and place it in the muffin tin. Smoothen the top with the back of the spoon.
Step 3: Freeze until set
Freeze these granola cups until set. Serve once they come down to room temperature.
Variations & Substitutions
