These Chocolate Granola Cups turn a handful of simple ingredients into a crunchy, chocolatey treat that’s easy to make and even easier to keep on hand. Plant Strong Chocolate Granola is combined with almond butter, dried cranberries, almonds, flaxseed meal, and a touch of maple syrup, then finished with a drizzle of melted chocolate.

With whole grains, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit in every cup, they bring plenty of texture and flavor without making dessert complicated. Make a batch ahead of time and keep them chilled for an easy snack or something sweet after a meal.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups Plant Strong Dark Chocolate Granola
¼ cup natural almond butter
3 tbsp maple syrup
¼ cup slivered almonds
¼ cup dried cranberries
2 tbsp flaxseed meal
¼ cup date-sweetened chocolate chips

Directions

Transfer granola and slivered almonds to a baking sheet and toast under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Combine the granola, almond butter, almonds, cranberries, and flaxseed meal in a medium bowl.
Line a 6-muffin baking tin with silicone muffin cups or paper liners. Spoon mixture evenly among the six cups.
Using a spoon, pack mixture into the muffin cups. Transfer to the freezer and let chill for 20-30 minutes to firm.
Place chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bites. Store in the freezer until ready to eat so they hold together.
