Ingredients
Scale
Granola Crust
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Filling
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt, or almond yogurt
Topping
- 1 cup mixed fruit for topping (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples), sliced or chopped as preferred
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the granola crust.
- Prepare Granola Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the old fashioned oats, finely chopped walnuts, sesame seeds, melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated and form a sticky mixture.
- Form Tart Shells: Grease eight mini tart pans to prevent sticking. Divide the granola mixture evenly, pressing about 3 tablespoons into the bottom and sides of each pan to form the tart crusts.
- Bake Crusts: Bake the tart shells in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until they turn golden brown, indicating they are crisp and cooked through.
- Shape Crusts: While the crusts are still warm, gently press down the centers and reshape the sides with the back of a spoon to maintain the tart form as they cool.
- Cool Completely: Allow the tart shells to cool completely in the pans before carefully removing them to avoid breaking.
- Add Yogurt Filling: Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of your chosen yogurt into each cooled granola tart shell and smooth the surface evenly.
- Top with Fruit: Add a colorful assortment of fresh fruits on top of the yogurt to enhance flavor and appearance.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast fruit tarts immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the granola crust combined with the creamy yogurt and fresh fruits.
Notes
- Use mini tart pans or muffin pans lined with silicone cups to shape the crusts easily.
- Substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds as preferred.
- Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Greek yogurt provides a thicker texture; plant-based yogurts like coconut or almond work well for dairy-free needs.
- Ensure crusts are completely cooled before filling to prevent sogginess.
- To keep the crusts crispy for longer, avoid assembling too far in advance.
