These little granola yoghurt baskets are sure to impress your guests! Perfectly paired with a cup of tea for a morning or afternoon treat.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • 2 cups granola
  • 1/2 cup wholegrain oats
  • 2 Tbs almond or other nut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened yoghurt or non-dairy alternative
  • 2 cups fresh fruit (e.g. berries, banana, apple, kiwifruit)
  • 1 Tbs of your favourite garnish (we love chia seeds, chopped pistachios, fresh mint leaves and edible flowers!)

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180oC and lightly spray a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray.

  2. Step 2

    Place dates in a small bowl and just cover with boiling water. Set aside for 10 minutes or until softened, and then drain well.

  3. Step 3

    Place granola, oats, nut butter, vanilla extract, banana and dates in a food processor and pulse until combined. Divide mixture evenly into muffin tins then form the mix into little “baskets”. (You can use your fingers or use the bottom of a small cup/glass and press it into the mix to make the shape.)

  4. Step 4

    Place into the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy. Allow to cool slightly in the tins, then carefully remove and transfer to a cooling rack. When completely cool, place on serving plates and fill with yoghurt. Top with fresh fruit, garnish and serve.
