Breakfast Granola Cups
Ingredients
Granola cups
- 1 ½ cups granola
- ½ cup sunflower seeds chopped (see recipe notes)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter or other nut butter
- ¼ tsp salt
Filling
- ¼ cup sunflower seed butter melted – or other nut butter
Topping
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips chopped – dairy free.
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the granola cups in a mixing bowl and mix well with either a spoon or your hands. The mixture should stick together when you press it between your fingers. If it’s not very sticky add a little bit more liquid sweetener.1 1/2 cups granola, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter
- Grease a cupcake pan or use a silicone mold. This recipe yields 6-8 cups, depending on the size of your cupcake pan.
- With the back of a tablespoon, press the mixture firmly into the cupcake pan and make a dent in the middle of each cup.
- Put a heaped tsp of sunflower seed butter into the center of each granola cup. Freeze until firm, about 60 minutes.1/4 cup sunflower seed butter
- Melt dairy-free chocolate chips in a water bath (simply put the chocolate chips in a small bowl and place it over hot water). You can accelerate the melting process by adding 1-2 tsp of coconut oil.1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Once the chocolate is melted pour it on top of the sunflower seed butter of each granola cup. It will harden quickly because the sunflower seed butter is cold.
- Store in the fridge. You can also freeze these breakfast granola cups in zip-lock bags! Enjoy!
Notes
You can use any nut butter of choice instead of sunflower seed butter
