Are you looking for a quick breakfast recipe which is super easy to make and tastes heavenly? A vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free no-bake breakfast with only 6 ingredients which can be also eaten for dessert? If yes, then definitely check out these breakfast granola cups!

No-Bake Breakfast Granola Cups

So I was going to make muffins for breakfast but then another idea came to my mind. Why not make a no-bake dessert which is even quicker and easier to make than muffins and requires no oven? I remembered that I recently made a huge batch of granola… Ideas started to spin in my head and I was intrigued. I wanted to make them special with a creamy filling but I ran out of peanut butter, so, unfortunately, no peanut butter granola cups. However, I found sunflower seed butter and bingo, that’s it! Nut-free breakfast granola cups, here we go…

Nut-Free Breakfast Granola Cups

As mentioned before, this recipe turned out to be nut-free because I used sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter. You can, of course, use peanut butter or any other nut butter instead. Some other examples would be cashew butter, hazelnut butter etc. Why not make a batch of peanut butter granola cups and a batch of breakfast granola cups with sunflower seed butter. You can decide later on which ones were more delicious and furthermore it doesn’t get boring right.

You can easily prepare this recipe in a food processor however, it’s also totally possible to mix all ingredients together in a bowl. It actually couldn’t be simpler in my opinion.

Vegan And Gluten-free Recipe

Make sure you are using granola which is vegan (free of honey) and gluten (certified gluten-free oats). I have made a huge batch of homemade granola recently which turned out super delicious. Unfortunately, I didn’t measure the ingredients, just eye-balled them. However, if you are interested in a vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free granola recipe then comment below and I will make it again and make sure to write down the exact measurements. Update: The recipe is finally on my blog, yay!

Perfect For Breakfast, Snack Or Dessert

These breakfast granola cups are obviously perfect for breakfast. They contain healthy fats, protein, and carbs that’s why they will keep you full for a longer time. And even though they are higher in fat, they are still so much healthier than white bread for example. If you crave a sweet dessert, just grab one of these cups! They are also great as a snack in a lunch box (think meal prep). I am sure kids would absolutely love them and they would be very happy if they could eat them in school!

These Breakfast Granola Cups are:

Vegan
Gluten-free
Nut-free

EASY AND QUICK RECIPE

It took me less than 10 minutes to mix all ingredients together for these breakfast granola cups. You will need to put them in the freezer to set (until the sunflower seed butter hardens) but you can prepare them in advance which is amazing. They also freeze well and it’s really handy to have them in the freezer because you never know when that craving kicks in, right.
