Strawberry Yogurt Granola Pops Recipes

STRAWBERRY YOGURT GRANOLA POPS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat yogurt and milk with whisk until well combined. (Mixture needs to be a pourable consistency.)
• Cut each strawberry into slices. Apply strawberry slices to inside walls of 4 molds in quick-frozen ice pop maker (Zoku™). Insert pop sticks. Pour about 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) yogurt mixture into each mold. Freeze 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add thin layer of granola to each mold. Pour yogurt mixture to "fill" line of each mold. Freeze completely. Follow manufacturer's instructions for removing pops.

STRAWBERRY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 300 degrees and set one rack in the middle of the oven. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together oats, almonds, coconut chips (if using) and pepitas.
• In a small saucepan, combine honey and sugar. Stir over medium heat until mixture starts to simmer and sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes; turn off heat. Stir in coconut oil, red-pepper flakes and salt. (If coconut oil is solid, allow it to fully melt.) Fold warm liquid mixture into oat mixture until well combined. Spread oat mixture evenly on the lined baking sheet.
• Bake granola on the middle rack for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, leaving the oven on, and stir granola to redistribute any bits along the edge into the center and vice versa. Bake until oats, nuts and coconut chips are deeply toasted and have a light sheen, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let granola cool on tray, at least 1 hour. Stir in freeze-dried strawberries, which will break up a bit as you mix them in. (Makes 5 cups.) Serve granola over yogurt and jam, if desired. Granola keeps, in an airtight container, for 2 weeks at room temperature.

BREAKFAST YOGURT POPS WITH FRUIT AND GRANOLA

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, vanilla, and 1 Tbsp. honey in a large bowl. Fold in berries and/or peaches. Microwave honey jar 10 seconds or place in a bowl of hot water to loosen. Place granola in a medium bowl and drizzle with remaining 1 tsp. warmed honey. Stir to lightly coat granola.
• Divide yogurt mixture among molds, leaving about 3/4" at the top. Tap molds on counter to get rid of any air pockets; top with granola. Cover molds, insert sticks, and freeze until ice pops are firm, at least 2 hours.
• Do Ahead
• Ice pops can be made 3 months ahead. Freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen.
