Breakfast Granola Cups

These breakfast granola cups are easy to make in just a few steps! You will only need 6 ingredients in total! The recipe is vegan, gluten-free and nut-free! These glasses are perfect for breakfast, dessert or snack!

Ingredients

Granola cups:

• 1 1/2 cups (170 g) granola
• 1/2 cup (70 g) chopped sunflower seeds (see recipe notes)
• 2 tablespoons (40 g) agave syrup (or maple syrup)
• 2 heaped tablespoons (50 g) sunflower oil (see recipe notes)
• pinch of salt

Filling:

• 1/4 cup (60 g) sunflower oil (melted)

Ornament:

• 1/2 cup dairy-free (90 g) chocolate chips (or dark chocolate, chopped)

Instructions

1. I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams on a kitchen scale.
2. For granola cups, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well, either with a spoon or by hand. The mixture should stick together when you press it between your fingers. If it’s not too sticky, add a little more liquid sweetener.
3. Grease the cake mold or use a silicone mold. This recipe yields 6-8 cups, depending on the size of your cake tin.
   Press the mixture firmly into the muffin tin with the back of a tablespoon and make a well in the center of each glass.
4. Put a teaspoon of sunflower seed oil in the middle of each granola bowl. Freeze until firm, about 60 minutes.
5. Melt the dairy-free chocolate chips in a water bath (put the chocolate chips in a small bowl and place them over the hot water). You can speed up the melting process by adding 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil.
6. Once the chocolate has melted, pour the sunflower seed oil over each granola cup. Sunflower oil hardens quickly because it is cold.
7. Keep refrigerated. You can freeze these breakfast granola containers in ziplock bags, too! Enjoy!
