Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup applesauce or mashed banana
- 1/4 cup agave or honey (vegans: use agave)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup rolled oats
- yogurt of choice OR any of my 35+ healthy pudding recipes
Instructions
Grease a muffin tin or mini muffin tin, and set aside. Whisk together the first three ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients. Combine the bowls, stirring until evenly mixed. Portion the batter into the muffin cups, pressing up the sides. It may look a little crumbly, but that will be remedied by the next step. Put the muffin tray in the fridge for at least an hour. Then preheat the oven to 330 F. Take the muffin tin out and press the sides very firmly again. Bake granola cups 12 minutes, take out and press the sides into the muffin tins again with a spoon. To prevent crumbling, let sit 20 minutes before attempting to remove from the tins. These can also be frozen and thawed, if desired.
Yield: 6 to 7 large, or 16 mini granola nests
