Breakfast Granola Yogurt Tarts

Why not be creative and transform your granola into something fun? I recommend mixing things up with these delicious wholesome Granola Tarts filled with a fresh coconut yogurt filling.  It’s great for breakfast. The best part, you can top them off with whatever fruit you desire. They’re super crunchy on the outside and that creamy yogurt filling is so light and delicate you’ll be in heaven… plus, how cute are these?

I absolutely love my Granola and yogurt for breakfast but this week, I thought I’d change things up. I have to admit, it took me quite some time to assemble these tarts before baking, but I promise, it’s worth the effort.

For the crust, simply mix all granola ingredients and press evenly into the tart tins. You can use a spatula or a spoon but I suggest you use your fingers. The tarts might need some adjusting after baking in the oven for 10 minutes. For this, its best to use a spoon and reshape them. Once the tarts are toasted and golden brown, take them out of the oven and let them cool on a rack for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the tarts from the tins and load them up with your delicious yogurt filling. I topped them off with berries and bananas but the sky is the limit here.

Make sure you serve them immediately, when the crust is still crispy and the yogurt is fresh. You can store these tarts in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.

Ingredients:
2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
2/3 ground almonds (roasted)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
1/2 cup maple syrup
orange zest (1 orange)
1 can coconut cream
2 cups coconut yogurt (unsweetened)

Method:
Preheat oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 5 (4 inch) mini tart pans and set aside. In a medium sized bowl mix together oats, ground almonds, coconut and orange zest. Add in maple syrup and coconut oil and mix well until evenly coated. Transfer granola mixture into the tart pans pressing it down on the bottom and up the sides. Place pans onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until granola tarts are golden brown. After 10 minutes in the oven, take out tarts and use a spoon to reshape tart if necessary. Once the tarts are done, take out of the oven and place onto a cooling rack. They will harden after 5-10 mintues. Gently remove tarts from tart tins.

To prepare the yogurt filling, heat coconut cream in a pot over low heat. Heat and stir until creamy. Add in the yogurt and mix well until fully combined. Fill tarts with yogurt filling, garnish with fruit and serve immediately.
