Equipment
- 1 Food processor
- 1 Muffin tin
Ingredients
- 6 dates pitted
- 1 banana small-medium
- ⅓ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups rolled oats not quick oats
- 2 tablespoon hemp hearts
- 2 tbsp ground flax
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with liners or grease well with coconut oil. This step is essential - the granola cups will fall apart if the tin is not lined or greased!
- Add the dates, banana, coconut oil, almond butter, and vanilla to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. *If your dates are quite dry, soak them in some water first for about 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl combine the oats, hemp hearts, ground flaxseed and cinnamon.
- Pour the date and almond butter purée over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is coated and you have a sticky mixture.
- Scoop the mixture evenly into the lined muffin tin. Press down firmly in the centre of each cup using the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a cup shape.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
- Allow to cool in the tin for at least 15-20 minutes before removing, this is important for the cups to hold their shape.
- Fill with yogurt and your favourite fresh fruit and serve!
