Filled with creamy yogurt and topped with an inviting mix of fresh fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and apples, these tarts deliver a refreshing balance of textures and flavors to start your day on a vibrant note.


Ingredients

Scale

Granola Crust

  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup walnuts, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling and Topping

  • 1 to 1 ¼ cups Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt, or almond yogurt
  • 1 cup mixed fruit for topping (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples), sliced or chopped as desired


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat 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 well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Prepare Tart Pans: Grease eight mini tart pans thoroughly. Then press about 3 tablespoons of the granola mixture into each pan, ensuring to press firmly across the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
  4. Bake Crusts: Place the tart pans in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the crusts turn a beautiful golden brown color.
  5. Shape Crusts: When the crusts are still hot, gently press the centers down and reshape the sides using the back of a spoon to ensure the tart shape is even.
  6. Cool Completely: Allow the tarts to cool completely in the pans before carefully removing them to maintain their shape and crispiness.
  7. Fill with Yogurt: Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of your chosen yogurt into each tart shell, smoothing the tops evenly.
  8. Add Fruit Topping: Arrange a colorful assortment of fresh fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and apples on top of the yogurt filling for a vibrant finish.
  9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the tarts right away to keep the granola crust crisp and fresh.

Notes

  • Use your preferred type of yogurt—Greek, coconut, or almond—to suit dietary needs or taste preferences.
  • The granola crust can be customized by adding your favorite nuts or seeds.
  • Ensure you press the granola mixture firmly into the tart pans to avoid crumbling after baking.
  • Serve the tarts immediately after adding fruit to maintain crispiness.
  • These tarts can be made ahead by baking crusts and storing them separately from yogurt and fruit until serving.
