Greek Yogurt Granola Cups

Want cheesecake for breakfast? The solution is Greek yogurt granola cups, 10 mini breakfast cheesecakes with no refined sugar! The recipe is quick, coming together in 10 minutes and ready for the oven; the procedure is simple, using one bowl and two bakes. Just mix together your granola base, press it into the muffin cups, and bake for 10 minutes, then mix together your yogurt filling, add it to the muffin cups, and bake for 25 minutes. The overall effect is so mouthwateringly good. The yogurt mixture thickens and solidifies until it’s almost indistinguishable from a cream cheese cheesecake, and the granola provides a nice texture and flavor of its own. Made a night ahead, it’s an amazing stress- and guilt-free breakfast or dessert!

Ingredients

• Granola base

• 3/4 cup rolled oats

• 1/4 cup pecans (chopped finely)

• 11/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil

• 2 tbsp honey

• Greek yogurt filling

• 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt

• juice of 1/2 lemon

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 6 tbsp honey

• 1 medium banana, mashed

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with 10 liners.
• In a medium bowl, combine all granola base ingredients. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin liner using your fingers or a spoon. Bake for 10 minutes and cool completely.
• In the same bowl, add all ingredients for Greek yogurt filling and mix until very smooth. Divide the filling equally between the muffin liners. If you have any leftover, I recommend eating it (plain or with some berries)!
• Bake in the oven for 25 or so minutes, until centers are just set (they may have a very slight jiggle still).
• Allow to cool completely and then place in the refrigerator to chill overnight. Eat plain or top with berries for a decadent but healthy breakfast. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
