I’ve been all about the no-bake recipes recently mainly because it’s Summer here in Australia but more importantly, simply because I’m a lazy lard ass who likes instant gratification. These No-Bake Vegan Granola Cups fit perfectly into my hedonistic sloth life, and I’m sure it will fit perfectly into yours too. If you’re someone who likes making everything from scratch (aka you’re someone with self respect unlike yours truly), then feel free to make a batch of my Vanilla Almond Granola for these Vegan Granola Cups. If you cant be arsed, then go out to your grocery store and purchase a box of inexpensive Granola. Either will work!
Since this is a no-bake recipe, it comes together in under an hour give or take, depending on how fast your Granola Cups set up. The base of the Vegan Granola Cups is simply some Granola, a mixture of Seeds of your choice (I used Sesame and Sunflower), some Agave Nectar/Maple Syrup, Almond Butter, Coconut Oil and a generous splash of Sea Salt. Once you combine these ingredients, you’ll end up with a MOIST RUBBLE which you then press into muffin cups.
Now, to make these Granola Cups and not Granola Pucks, you’re going to have to use your hands or a spoon to make an indent in the middle of each Granola mound. Once you’ve done that, fill the cavity with a Nut Butter of choice (I used Peanut because I’m cheap), and then freeze for about an hour or till firm. The last step is to top these Vegan Granola Cups off with some Melted Vegan Chocolate. I used Vegan Milk Chocolate (Sweet William), but feel free to use Dark!
