01 -
2 tablespoons honey
02 -
3.5 oz dark chocolate, chopped finely

2 teaspoons coconut oil

2 1/2 cups granola with honey
06 -
2 tablespoons peanut butter
→ Filling
07 -
12 banana slices (optional)
08 -
1 cup peanut butter
# Instructions:
01 -
If there are chunky granola pieces, break them up. Stir together the granola and peanuts in a big bowl until combined.
02 -
Heat up the dark chocolate and coconut oil until melted. Mix in peanut butter and honey until everything’s smooth.
03 -
Pour the chocolate blend over the granola. Stir it all together so the granola is fully coated. If it feels too liquidy, let it cool a little so it firms up. Add granola to thicken things up, or more honey to make it stickier. You need it sticky enough to hold together when pressed.
04 -
Grease a 12-slot cupcake pan well. Spoon the granola mix into the slots, pressing hard to make it compact. Create a little dent in the middle of each using your thumb or a spoon.
05 -
Pop the pan into the freezer for 5-10 minutes, just enough to set it. Don’t let them freeze too long or they’ll get stuck.
06 -
Once firm, gently remove them from the pan. If they stick, let them warm up for a couple of minutes, or use a knife to carefully loosen the edges.
07 -
Put peanut butter in the center of each cup. If it’s tough to spread, warm it a bit first. Optionally, top with a banana slice.
08 -
Keep in the fridge in a container with a lid for up to 7 days. Freeze them if you need to store for 3 months.
# Notes:
01 -
You can switch up the flavors! Use different granolas, nut butters, or toppings—it’s super customizable.
02 -
If you're using banana slices, add them before serving so they don’t turn brown.
