Notes
- Press mixture firmly into muffin tins to help them hold shape.
- Store plain oat cups in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Fill them just before serving to keep crunchy.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or seeds into the granola mix.
- Swap banana with unsweetened applesauce if you prefer a lighter flavour.
