Ingredients:
-
Cupcake Liners: These paper liners are essential for lining the cupcake tin, providing a convenient way to remove the Granola Cups once they are set.
-
Optional Garnish: While not essential, you may choose to garnish the Granola Cups with additional toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor and visual appeal.
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cupcake Tin: Start by lining a cupcake tin with paper liners. This will help in easy removal of the Granola Cups once they are set.
-
Layer with Granola Butter: Take the prepared cupcake tin and pour a layer of Granola Butter into the bottom half of each cup. Spread it evenly using a spoon or spatula. The Granola Butter serves as the delicious and nutritious base of our cups.
-
Freeze: Place the cupcake tin in the freezer and allow the Granola Butter to freeze for about 10 minutes. This step helps in setting the bottom layer and ensures that the cups hold their shape.
-
Prepare the Chocolate: While the Granola Butter is chilling, chop the chocolate bar into finely chopped pieces. Transfer the chopped chocolate to a glass bowl. Using a glass bowl is recommended as it helps to insulate the chocolate better, preventing it from scorching during the melting process.
-
Melt the Chocolate: Heat the chocolate in the glass bowl in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval. Initially, the stirring may seem arbitrary, but as you continue, you'll notice that the edges of the chocolate are melting faster than the center. Stirring helps distribute the heat evenly, ensuring that the chocolate melts smoothly and without burning.
-
Pour the Melted Chocolate: Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, pour it over the layer of frozen Granola Butter in each cup. Ensure that the chocolate covers the entire surface evenly.
-
Freeze Again: Return the cupcake tin to the freezer and allow the chocolate to set for another 10 minutes. This step helps in firming up the chocolate layer and completing the assembly of the Granola Cups.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate layer is set, remove the Granola Cups from the cupcake tin using the paper liners. Arrange them on a serving plate and enjoy your delightful homemade treats. These Granola Cups are perfect for snacking, dessert, or any time you crave a sweet and satisfying indulgence.
Equipment Needed:
Serving Suggestion:
- Add Fresh Fruit: Put some slices of fresh fruit on top, like strawberries or banana.
- Drizzle with Honey or Caramel: Pour a bit of honey or caramel sauce over them for extra sweetness.
- Sprinkle with Nuts or Coconut Flakes: Add some chopped nuts or coconut on top for crunchiness.
- Serve with Ice Cream: Have them with a scoop of ice cream for a yummy combo.
Storage Suggestion:
- Fridge: If you're not eating them right away, put them in a sealed container in the fridge to keep them fresh. They'll stay good for a few days this way.
- Freezer: Want to keep them longer? Pop them in the freezer! Lay them flat on a tray until they're frozen, then transfer them to a bag or container. They can last for a few weeks in the freezer.
- Layers: If you're stacking them, use parchment paper between each layer so they don't stick together.
