What are Yogurt-Filled Granola Cups?

Yogurt-filled granola cups are a creative twist on traditional parfaits that feature crackly, baked oat cups made with peanut butter and maple syrup, filled with velvety yogurt, and topped with fresh berries. The combination creates a reliable balance of textures — from the satisfying crunch of the granola cup to the smooth yogurt filling and juicy berries on top.

These portable breakfast cups transform everyday ingredients into an Instagram-worthy morning meal. The peanut butter helps bind the oats together while adding rich flavor, and the maple syrup provides just enough sweetness to complement the tangy yogurt filling.

Ingredients You Need

Old-Fashioned Oats – The hearty texture of old-fashioned oats creates the reliable sturdy base. Using this variety helps the cups hold their shape and maintain their crunchiness.
Peanut Butter – The natural oils in peanut butter bind everything together beautifully. Room-temperature peanut butter mixes most easily with the other ingredients.
Maple Syrup – Pure maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness and brings out the nutty flavors of the oats and peanut butter.
Vanilla Yogurt – The silky filling adds protein and a luscious texture. Greek yogurt works especially well because of its thick, rich consistency.
Fresh Raspberries – We love the bright pop of color and tartness that raspberries add! Plus, they balance the nutty base perfectly.
