Ingredients
Scale
Granola
- ½ cup granola (plus more for topping)
- ¼ cup granola (smaller pieces work better for topping)
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup yogurt of choice (Greek yogurt recommended for thickness and protein)
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- ¾ cup fresh strawberries, sliced or chopped (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners or use a 12-cup silicone baking pan to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Add Base Granola Layer: Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of granola into the bottom of each muffin cup as the crunchy base layer. Set the pan aside.
- Mix Yogurt and Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of yogurt with ½ cup of hulled, diced strawberries. Using a pastry cutter or fork, mash the fruit slightly into the yogurt until mostly integrated but still retaining some chunks for texture. Stir and fold with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until well mixed.
- Spoon Yogurt Mixture: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the strawberry yogurt mixture into each muffin cup evenly. Tap the pan gently to smooth out the surface and compact the layer slightly.
- Add Strawberry Topping: Press about 1 tablespoon of strawberries or one strawberry slice gently into the top center of each yogurt bite for added fruitiness and visual appeal.
- Sprinkle Granola Topping: Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the smaller granola pieces over the strawberry layer to add crunch and texture.
- Freeze: Place the muffin pan into the freezer and chill until the bites are firm, approximately 2 to 4 hours.
- Serve: Once frozen, pop out each yogurt bite from the muffin liner or silicone cup. Allow to thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before enjoying.

Notes
- Greek yogurt works best for creamy texture and higher protein content, but any yogurt of choice can be used.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen strawberries may release too much liquid when thawed.
- Silicone muffin pans make removing frozen bites easier compared to paper liners.
- You can substitute the granola with your favorite crunchy cereal or nuts if desired.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Thaw bites for 2-5 minutes before eating for the best texture and taste.
