These Granola Cups with Whipped Nutella Filling are decadent little cups that are perfect for breakfast, post-workout, as an afternoon snack or even dessert!

Hey there folks.

How was everyone’s first full week of 2020?

I have to say, mine was pretty good. I’m down in sunny Florida visiting with my Mom and the weather has been just splendid. Nice and warm and absolutely lovely.

Although I hear back in the Philadelphia and New Jersey areas it’s not too shabby either. Temps in the 60’s? In mid-January? Let’s savor it while we’ve got it, right?

Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite little breakfast, post-workout or afternoon snack treats.

These Granola Cups with Whipped Nutella Filling are decadent, healthy-ish bites that will satisfy your appetite and sweet tooth.

The little cups are super simple to whip up, require just a handful of ingredients and have just the right amount of sweetness.

Just mix the ingredients until well combined and press into a standard muffin pan. Chill a bit, bake, cool, then fill.

And the whipped Nutella filling? I mean can you ever go wrong when Nutella’s involved?

I think not.

But if you’re not a fan of Nutella, feel free to fill these yummy little cups with your favorite yogurt.

They’re honestly, equally delish either way.

Then top these little beauties with some fresh fruit and you’re good to go. Breakfast is served. Enjoy!

Looking for a few other delicious breakfast options? Try my Berry Buttermilk Sheet Pan Pancakes, my Everything Bagels, or my Easy Pecan Waffles with Pecan Praline Sauce.

 

A Few Cook’s Notes for Granola Cups with Whipped Nutella Filling Recipe:

When combining the ingredients for the granola cups, make sure to mix the dry mixture with the honey and melted coconut oil until well combined and coated.

Spray your muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray before adding the oat mixture.

Chill the cups for about 30 minutes in the fridge before baking.

Let the cups cool totally before using a knife around the edges of the cup and removing.

You can fill the cups all at once if you’d like or keep the empty cups in an airtight container and fill just before eating if you’d rather.

    What a great idea, Mary Ann! I always make granola, so these would be a natural twist to the breakfast I eat on the daily! So tasty! Have a great time in the land of sun! I am missing that bright yellow orb in the sky right now.
