Ingredients

1 cup of whole wheat bread, crusts removed and cut into small cubes

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced bananas, or diced apples) for topping

Optional: Nuts or granola for crunch

Instructions

Prepare the Toast Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the bread cubes, melted butter, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the bread is well-coated.

Bake the Cups: Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Press the bread mixture into each muffin cup, forming a little cup shape. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

Mix the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.

Assemble the Cups: Once the toast cups have cooled, fill each cup generously with the yogurt mixture. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Freeze and Set: Place the filled toast cups in the freezer for about 2-3 hours, or until firm. You can also cover them with plastic wrap for freshness during freezing.

Serve with Toppings: Once set, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or granola as desired.

Enjoy! These Frozen Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Toast Cups are perfect for a refreshing breakfast, healthy snack, or a delightful dessert.
