Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 tarts
Ingredients
- 2 cups granola
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mixed berries
- Honey or maple syrup to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare 4 individual tart pans by lightly greasing them with cooking spray or butter.
- In a food processor, pulse the granola until it becomes a fine, consistent crumb texture. If you don't have a food processor, place granola in a sealed plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin.
- Pour the melted coconut oil into the granola crumbs and mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes slightly sticky and holds together when pressed.
- Divide the granola mixture evenly among the 4 tart pans, pressing firmly into the bottom and sides to create a uniform crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to compact the mixture.
- Bake the granola crusts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, carefully remove the granola crusts from the tart pans and place on serving plates.
- Fill each crust with a generous portion of Greek yogurt, spreading it evenly to the edges.
- Top the yogurt with a mix of fresh berries, arranging them attractively across the surface.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the berries just before serving for added sweetness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, nutritious breakfast tarts.
Tips
- For the crispiest crust, ensure your granola is finely ground and well-compacted in the tart pans.
- Use room temperature coconut oil for easier mixing with granola crumbs.
- Allow crusts to cool completely before adding yogurt to prevent soggy bottoms.
- Choose fresh, seasonal berries for the most vibrant flavor and appearance.
- For a gourmet touch, try infusing your honey with lavender or using different flavored Greek yogurts.
- Make crusts ahead of time and store in an airtight container to save morning prep time.
- Experiment with different granola types for unique flavor profiles.
