Granola Cups with Peanut Butter (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ To Make the Granola Cups
01 -
2 1/2 cups of honey-flavored granola
02 -
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
03 -
2 tsp of coconut oil
04 -
3.5 oz of dark chocolate, chopped finely
05 -
2 tbsp of peanut butter
06 -
3 tbsp of honey
→ To Prepare the Filling
07 -
1 cup peanut butter
08 -
12 fresh banana slices (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
If the granola has big clusters, break them down using a rolling pin. Toss the granola and chopped peanuts together in a big bowl until they’re well mixed.
02 -
Gently heat the dark chocolate and coconut oil until it’s completely melted. Stir in the peanut butter and honey, mixing everything until smooth and combined.
03 -
Pour the melted chocolate blend into the granola mixture and stir it well to coat everything evenly. If it turns out too runny, let it sit for a bit to allow the chocolate to thicken. Adjust as needed—add more granola if it’s too sticky or more honey if it’s too crumbly. What you want is a consistency that sticks together when pressed.
04 -
Lightly grease a muffin tray with 12 slots. Scoop the granola mixture into the tray, dividing it equally. Press the mixture firmly into each section, making sure it holds. Use a spoon or finger to create a little well in each piece.
05 -
Pop the tray into the freezer for about 5–10 minutes. You want the cups to firm up, but don’t leave them too long—they’ll be harder to take out.
06 -
Once they’re set, carefully remove the cups from the pan. If they’re stubborn, leave them on the counter for a couple of minutes or use a small knife to ease them out gently.
07 -
Spoon peanut butter into each cup—if it feels too thick to spread, warm it up first. Finish with a slice of banana on top, if you like.
08 -
Store them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for about a week. For long-term storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to switch things up—try using different nut butters, granola flavors, or toppings to change it up.
02 -
If you’re using banana slices, add those right before serving to keep them fresh.
