Why These Granola Berry Cups Are a Smart Snack
These healthier granola cups are more than just cute. They’re made with ingredients that support steady energy and full bellies:
- Rolled oats are a slow-digesting carb and a great base for granola breakfast ideas that won’t spike blood sugar.
- Banana adds natural sweetness and binds the cups, which makes these vegan granola cups with no eggs or oil needed.
- Raw honey gives a touch of sweetness, and you can adjust or skip it based on your needs.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, turning these into satisfying granola cups with yogurt that keep you full longer.
- Berries are full of antioxidants and fiber, and our my kids’ favorite part of this snack!
- Optional collagen powder is a sneaky way to add more protein and support skin, joint, and gut health, especially great for postpartum mamas. This is usually what I add.
These are naturally gluten-free (as long as your oats are certified GF) and super easy to make dairy-free by using a plant-based yogurt!

How To Make Granola Berry Cups
In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
Add the oats and honey to the mashed banana and mix well until fully combined.
Divide the mixture evenly into 6 cups of a muffin pan. Use your fingers or a spoon to press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a cup shape. Freeze the tray for 30 minutes to help the cups hold their shape.

Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
Add a scoop of yogurt to each cup, top with fresh berries, and serve immediately.

Granola Berry Cups
Ingredients
Method
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana.
- Add the oats, and honey to the mashed banana and mix until well combined.
- Add the mixture to a muffin pan and divide over 6 cups. Push the mixture to the edges and bottom, so that you are creating a cup.
- Freeze the muffin tray for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the cups for 30 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let cool off for 10 minutes.
- Add the yogurt and berries to each cup and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the crispiest, bakery-style granola cups, pack the oat mixture firmly into the muffin molds press it up the sides with the back of a spoon to create tight, even walls. After baking, let the cups cool completely in the tray; this helps them harden and prevents crumbling when you add the yogurt.
- You can bake the oat cups ahead of time and store them in the fridge (up to 4 days) or freezer. Just fill with yogurt and fruit when you’re ready to enjoy!
