  • Try different fruits like mango, kiwi, or chopped apples for variety.
  • Swap walnuts with pecans or almonds for a crunchier topping.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and agave syrup.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-dairy yogurt for this recipe?

Yes, low-fat or non-dairy yogurts like coconut or almond milk yogurt can be used, but the texture and taste might vary slightly compared to whole milk Greek yogurt.

How do I prevent the granola cups from getting soggy?

Pressing the granola mixture firmly into the muffin liners and freezing the cups solid helps maintain their shape and crunch. Enjoying them soon after thawing also keeps them from becoming too soft.
