If you’re looking for brunch ideas or a mid-day snack, look no further. These blueberry cashew butter granola cups are packed with healthy fats and wholesome ingredients that are just oh so delicious! I’m not a big breakfast person. I usually keep it simple with eggs and avocado. These cups however have changed my mind!
These granola cups are made with oats, chopped walnuts and almonds, coconut oil, and honey. The filling is a caramel-like paste made with creamy cashew butter, dates and Califia Farms’ Vanilla Creamer. This vanilla creamer is soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, kosher, vegan, and BPA-free. It tastes like straight up vanilla bean! So good! Here’s how to bring this recipe to life.
How To Make Blueberry Cashew Butter Granola Cups
First, you mix together the oats, walnuts, almonds, honey and coconut oil in a bowl. Spoon the mixture evenly in a muffin tin. You can use a mini muffin tin too, if you prefer. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes and then set aside.
Next, we make the filling by adding cashew butter, dates, and Califia Farms Vanilla Creamer to a food processor. Pulse for about 1-2 minutes until you get a caramel-like paste. Hopefully, you won’t eat too much of it, like I did, before filling the cups. Ha!
Lastly, you fill the cups with the cashew butter filling and top with blueberries, shredded coconut, and lemon zest. These granola cups taste so good. You get the crunch from the granola cup. And that sweet, gooey cashew filling? I mean YUM. You gotta try them for yourself! Full recipe is below.
I hope you make these and LOVE them!
