Cold, refreshing and good for you, these frozen yogurt granola cups are 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 granola (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.
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!

Choose your own adventure
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!

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 says
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!

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

Those yogurt cups look amazing – and so simply perfect. I love the tip on the wrappers. Food stuck in my wrappers is always a pet peeve!

Mine too! They are a little bit more expensive than regular wrappers but I buy them in bulk at my local baking supplies store so I don’t have to think about it again (at least for some time lol).

Wow with the heat we have had the last 3 weeks, these would have been great. I will have to make some. I love those little silicone cups. We have the grandkids 2 days a week all summer long. I am always on the lookout for healthy treats to make them…and they love helping me too.
Jolina says
Hi Gloria! That heat wave was something else eh? And yeah, this would be a nice little activity to do with the kids 🙂

I could easily mistake these for breakfast, lunch and dinner! They look and sound so good. Perfect for all these crazy hot days

These frozen yogurt granola cups are a delicious way to cool down this summer. I like this not only because it is delicious, but because it is healthy too! A total winner in my book.
Val says
I’ve never heard of glassine cupcake liners. It’s interesting you mention the cups will slide right off, I have used silicone when I wanted that, I’m wondering if they’re similar.
Jolina says
Hi Val. Glassine liners are disposable and I think silicone ones are washable and reusable?
Beverley Golden says
Love this idea of a frozen yogurt plus granola cup! A perfect cooking treat or a great breakfast item as you suggested. I love berries, so adding frozen fruit makes them even more yummy.
Neely Moldovan says
This is the kind of recipe I can for sure do! Easy and perfect for summer!
Maria Long says
I wish my kids would eat these. Maybe once we finish all the ice cream in the freezer I will have to replace it with these.
Jolina says
Haha yeah I bet it’s hard to compete with ice cream 🙂
Catherine Sargent says
