Ingredients

14 dates, pitted
½ cup unsalted almonds
1½ cups old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1½ cups nonfat yogurt
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
½ cup blueberries
¾ cup raspberries
¾ cup strawberries, quartered

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Place the dates, almonds, oats and salt into a food processor (a blender will also work). Pulse the mixture to a fine crumb. Add the vegetable oil and pulse again.

  3. Divide the granola mixture between 12 muffin cups. Firmly pack the granola into the bottom and sides of cups, leaving enough room for the yogurt. Bake for 12–13 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, rinse the food processor with water and place back on the base. Place the yogurt and freeze dried-strawberries into the food processor and pulse until smooth.

  5. Remove the granola cups from the oven and let cool completely.

  6. Now it’s time to decorate! Remove the cups and place on a plate. Add the yogurt mixture and decorate with the berries.
