Some snacks just feel like a little treat, even when they are made with simple ingredients. These Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups are one of those recipes I make when I want something cold, creamy, and a little crunchy at the same time.
The first time I made them, it was during a hot afternoon when no one wanted to turn on the oven. I had yogurt, a bag of granola, and some berries in the fridge. I pressed the granola into muffin tins, filled them with yogurt, and let the freezer do the rest.
When I pulled them out later, they were the perfect grab and go snack. Creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and juicy fruit all in one bite.
These frozen yogurt granola cups are great for breakfast, afternoon snacks, or even a light dessert.

Author: Rose
Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
Yield: 12 cups
Diet: Vegetarian
Creamy frozen yogurt granola cups with a crunchy granola base and fresh fruit topping. A simple healthy snack that is easy to make and perfect for busy days.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granola
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Granola Base
In a bowl, mix the granola, honey, and melted coconut oil until everything is evenly coated.
The mixture should feel slightly sticky so it holds together.
Step 2: Form The Cups
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Add about 2 tablespoons of granola mixture into each muffin cup. Press the granola firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a small cup shape.
Place the tray in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Prepare The Yogurt Filling
In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract if using.
If you like sweeter yogurt, you can also stir in a little extra honey.
Step 4: Fill The Cups
Remove the muffin tin from the freezer.
Spoon yogurt into each granola cup, filling them almost to the top.
Step 5: Add Fruit Toppings
Top each cup with fresh berries.
Blueberries, sliced strawberries, or raspberries all work beautifully here.
Notes And Variations
Here are a few tips I have learned from making these frozen yogurt cups many times.
Use thick yogurt
Greek yogurt works best because it freezes creamy and holds its shape well.
Try different fruits
Mango, kiwi, or banana slices are also delicious toppings.
Add chocolate
A few mini chocolate chips make these feel like dessert.
Make them dairy free
Use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt for a dairy free version.
Perfect for meal prep
Store them in a freezer container and grab one whenever you want a quick snack.
FAQs
They can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Let them sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes so they soften slightly.
Yes. Maple syrup works perfectly as a substitute.
