Crunchy oats and probiotic yogurt for steady morning fuel — this Nutty Energy Granola Greek Yogurt Cup is the breakfast that keeps you going long past mid-morning without the sugar crash. Toasted almonds, pumpkin seeds and maple-glazed oats meet cool, full-fat Greek yogurt and juicy blueberries in every spoonful.
It’s one of the 20 recipes inside our Energy Boosting Cookbook, and we’re sharing it in full so you can taste the standard before you buy the book. Bake one tray of granola and you’ve got four energising cups ready to assemble in seconds.
Why this recipe works
Baking the oats, almonds and pumpkin seeds with maple syrup and coconut oil at a gentle 160°C is what builds the crunch: the low heat toasts the clusters deeply golden without scorching the nuts, and cooling them fully on the tray sets that shatter-crisp texture. Layered over protein-rich Greek yogurt, it delivers slow-release energy rather than a quick spike.

Instructions
- Mix the granola. Preheat oven to 160°C. In a bowl combine oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon, then pour over maple syrup and melted coconut oil, tossing until every cluster is glossy.
- Bake until golden. Spread mixture on a lined tray and bake 18–20 minutes, stirring once halfway, until deeply golden and fragrant. Cool fully on the tray to crisp up.
- Layer the cups. Spoon half the Greek yogurt across four glasses or bowls. Scatter half the blueberries, then a generous layer of cooled granola for texture.
- Top and serve. Repeat with remaining yogurt, blueberries and granola. Finish with bee pollen if using and serve immediately so the top layer stays crunchy.
Chef’s tip
Bake the granola a day ahead and store it airtight; the clusters stay crisp for two weeks and mornings become a thirty-second assembly job.
