Little Granola Baskets - HAPPY EASTER

I got inspired to this delicious little breakfast granola cups by a video on pinterest, referring to a recipe on BuzzFeed: One Muffin Tin, Three Healthy Breakfasts. As the title says, they have in total three cute little recipes for the muffin tin. I prepared these granola cups for Easter as they seemed easy to make, light and delicious, and plain cute :) I currently love to eat yoghurt, fruits and granola.

I made a few small changes to the recipe, adding maple syrup for example. I also used a granola mix instead of plain oats. My granola mix included oats, cornflakes, coconut flakes and sunflower seeds.

Ingredients (for 6 baskets):

• 1 banana
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups granola mix/ oats
• 1 cup yoghurt (plain)

Possible Toppings:

• fruit (banana, kiwi, mango, rasberries, blueberries, strawberries)
• nuts (almond slices, walnuts, coconut)
• chia seeds
• chocolate flakes

Preparations:

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Add the honey, maple syrup and vanilla and mix. Now, add the granola mix (or oats), salt and cinnamon and mix. 
2. Grease a muffin tin. Place two tablespoons of the granola-banana mix in each tin cup. Press it into the cup to form the little baskets.
3. Now, refrigerate the cups for 1 hour. Preheat oven on 350 degree Fahrenheit.
4. Bake the cups for about 20-30 minutes to dry the granola mix. Take them out and let them cool.
5. Peel the baskets out of the muffin tin form. Fill each with a tablespoon of yoghurt and your favorite toppings.
