I know it's been forever since I've posted a new recipe.  Now that things are calming down, sort of, I'm trying to get back in the hang of things.

Lately, breakfast has been a struggle for me.  I need to eat something before work, but nothing sounds good anymore.  I came across this recipe on Pinterest and actually tried it already.

These granola cups were easy to put together.   It's also a no-bake recipe.  I didn't think twice, just immediately doubled the recipe.  Boy, was I happy I did.

My entire family said that I can make them again.  They really like them!  Basically, it's granola, peanut butter and chocolate.  What's not good about that combination?

Easy Breakfast Granola Cups

For the Granola Cups

• 2 heaped tbsp sunflower-seed-butter
• 1 ½ cups granola
• 2 tbsp agave-syrup or maple-syrup
• ½ cup sunflower-seeds chopped
• pinch of salt

For the Filling

• ¼ cup sunflower seed butter melted

For the Topping

• ½ cup dairy-free chocolate-chips or dark-chocolate chopped

Instructions

• Mix all ingredients to the granola-cups at a mixing-bowl and blend with a spoon or your hands. The mix should stick together when you press it between your palms. When it is not so sticky add a bit more liquid sweetener.

• Grease a silicone mould or cupcake-pan. With the back of a tablespoon, press the mixture firmly to the cupcake-pan and create a dent in the center of every cup.

• Place a heaped teaspoon of sunflower-seed-butter to the middle of every granola-cup. Freeze till firm for 60minutes.

• Melt dairy-free chocolate-chips in a water tub (just set the chocolate chips in a small bowl and put it over hot-water). It's possible to hasten the melting process by incorporating 1-2 teaspoon of coconut-oil.

• When the chocolate is melted pour it on top of the sunflower-seed-butter of every granola-cup. It’ll harden quickly as the sunflower seed butter is chilly.

• Store in the refrigerator. You could even freeze these breakfast granola-cups in zip-lock-bags.

I used just regular peanut butter instead of the sunflower-seed butter.  Also, I substituted regular chopped peanuts for the sunflower seeds in the granola cup.  This was the first time I made them, so I didn't notice a difference on either substitution.
