GRANOLA CUPS RECIPE

Ingredients:
For the granola cups:
2 cups rolled oats (200g)
1 cup chopped almonds (120g)
1/4 cup peanut butter (65g)
2 tbsp maple syrup, agave or honey
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 egg whites
For the filling (per cup):
2 tbsp cottage cheese
1 tbsp mashed banana
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp melted dark chocolate
1/2 tbsp chopped walnuts

NUTRITIONAL INFO (per serving):
365 calories, fat 18g, carb 35g, protein 15g

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Grease a 12-hole muffin pan with butter or coconut oil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and lightly beaten egg whites. Mix thoroughly with your hands until the mixture becomes sticky and well-incorporated.

Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, about 50g per cup. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture down and create a well in the center of each cup.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the granola cups are lightly golden brown.

Let the granola cups cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the granola cups are fully cooled, fill each cup in the following order: cottage cheese - mashed banana - peanut butter - tbsp cottage cheese - tbsp melted chocolate - chopped walnuts.

Alternatively, you can fill the granola cups with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit, or any of your favorite toppings.

Store the empty granola cups in the fridge and fill them just before serving to maintain their crunchiness.

Serve and enjoy your high-protein granola cups as a nutritious and delicious snack or dessert!
