Frozen yogurt granola cups are cold, refreshing and good for you. The perfect summer snacks! Made with just 2 basic ingredients but customizable in so many ways, they’re fun to make and even funner to eat.
Nothing beats cold food on a hot summer day. I’m an ice cream and popsicle girl myself (ok, maybe throw in a few cocktails in there!) but I do love these frozen yogurt granola cups.
Made with homemade maple pecan granola (or you can use your favourite store brand), Greek yogurt (you can use your favourite kind of yogurt) and your optional choice of mix-ins, you know they’re healthy so you can snack on ‘em all summer long without the guilt!
What are glassine paper cups?
You know how regular cupcake liners feel like paper? Glassine cupcake liners
feel closer to wax paper – it’s smoother and shinier. Think: candy wrapper.
They are perfect for things like chocolate (they’re what I use for my Dried Mango Chocolate Bites) because they won’t stick.
And they’re what I recommend here.
While normal cupcake liners would work, you’d need to carefully unwrap the granola cups out of them and make sure to get all the paper off. With glassine, they slide right out.
How to make frozen yogurt granola cups
That’s really the hardest decision you’re going to have to make when making these. Everything else is easy peasy.
Take granola and Greek yogurt then layer them in the cups. You can stop there and be perfectly happy!

Customize your frozen yogurt cups
Or you can choose to mix fruit compote, curd or jam with the yogurt or simply sweeten it with honey. Then you can you top the cups with your favourite berries, nuts or whatever else you have on hand.
Put the cups in the freezer and after a couple hours, you have delicious, healthy, yogurt cups that you can bite into, spoon out of a bowl or eat however you want!

They look delish! I am going to try this recipe soon. Can they be served frozen? or Would you recommend putting it in the fridge after it’s frozen completely?
Jolina
Hi Henna! We usually eat these frozen, like popsicles. But you can eat/serve them however you like!
Larissa
Hi, I just wanted to say my kids love your yogurt cups. I made them into pops and did as you suggested by flavoring them with jam. A mom’s trick to getting them to eat yogurt instead of ice cream he he. My youngest enjoyed helping me make them. We’re going to be making more. Thank you for a simple but delicious recipe.
Jolina
I’m so happy to hear that Larissa! And what a great idea to turn them into pops. Hope you’re have a fab summer!

These are so cute and tasty looking! I love that you only need 2 ingredients …. who wouldn’t. I can’t wait to give this a try!

When the kiddos are clamoring for a snack these frozen yogurt granola cups are fantastic. Heck, they’re great for adults too. A nice pick me up snack in the afternoons. Much better than high sugar snacks.

I love frozen yogurt and granola. Often it is my choice of dessert when I want to binge. I love that this is only two ingredients. I must try this soon.
