Yogurt Breakfast Pops

These breakfast pops are the perfect way to start a summer day. The surprise addition of homemade granola embedded in the pop takes this from a snack-time treat to a filling breakfast to fuel the day ahead. Incorporating fermented foods, such as yogurt, into our diet helps to enhance the body’s absorption of proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) maple syrup, divided

Directions

01

Granola

Start by making granola. In medium-sized frying pan, bring coconut oil and 2 Tbsp (30 mL) maple syrup to a boil over medium heat. Stir in oats, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground flaxseed, hemp hearts, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring often, until granola is toasted, golden brown, and fragrant, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove frying pan from heat and allow granola to cool to room temperature in pan. Once cooled, granola may be stored in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Popsicles

To make popsicles, in medium bowl, with rubber spatula, fold together yogurt, chopped berries, vanilla, and 1 Tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup. Divide mixture among 9 - 3 oz (90 mL) popsicle moulds. Top each popsicle with about 2 Tbsp (30 mL) granola and gently press into yogurt mixture until just submerged. Reserve any remaining granola for another use. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight. Unmould and enjoy. Yogurt pops will keep in freezer for up to 1 week.
