Ingredients

Scale

Granola Crust

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt, or almond yogurt

Topping

  • 1 cup mixed fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples), chopped or sliced as desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the granola crust.
  2. Mix granola ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, finely chopped walnuts, sesame seeds, melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Prepare tart pans: Grease eight mini tart pans to prevent sticking. Press about 3 tablespoons of the granola mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each pan, creating a tart shell.
  4. Bake the crusts: Place the tart pans in the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown and set.
  5. Reshape crusts: While the crusts are still hot from the oven, use the back of a spoon to gently press down the centers and reshape the sides to maintain a tart form.
  6. Cool the crusts: Allow the tarts to cool completely in their pans before carefully removing them to keep their shape intact.
  7. Add the filling: Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of your chosen yogurt into each tart shell and smooth the yogurt evenly for a beautiful finish.
  8. Top with fruit: Arrange a colorful and fresh assortment of mixed fruits on top of the yogurt layer for natural sweetness and a burst of flavor.
  9. Serve immediately: Enjoy these tarts right away to keep the granola crust crisp and the flavors fresh.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
  • Use any yogurt you prefer to suit dietary needs or taste preferences, including non-dairy options.
  • For added sweetness, drizzle extra honey over the fruit topping before serving.
  • These tarts can be prepared a few hours in advance, but add the fruit topping just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • To make this recipe vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey and plant-based yogurt.
