These Granola Breakfast Tarts (ready to be grabbed and devoured) are crunchy, creamy healthy deliciousness. Not bragging. It’s true.

If you’ve been following my cooking journey, you know we are a family of granola devotees. Most mornings, we grab it for breakfast. If not that, then for a mid-evening snack. As a result, I’ve always got boatloads of homemade granola lying around in my kitchen and pantry. 

What’s another consequence of being in love with granola? You end up experimenting a ton with new ways to consume it, and that’s how granola tarts for breakfast came to be.

How to Make Granola Tarts for Breakfast?

I feel the all-or-nothing approach is antiquated. I am forever looking for the middle ground in everything, which is what I wanted with this recipe. Something healthy, delicious, and quick to make. Most often you get 2 out of these 3. But granola tarts are healthy, delicious, and so, so easy to make.

They require no baking and are vegan-friendly (more on this later)! All you have to do is add granola, coconut oil, and honey in a food processor and then pulse. Take the mixture and pat it into loose-bottomed tart cases and then put it in a refrigerator to set.

That’s it. When you are ready to devour them, take a tart base and garnish to your heart’s content.

Notes for making the granola tart base

Use the honey sparingly because granola is already sweet. Too much of it and you end up with an overly honied base. Right out of the food processor, the mixture should have a consistency of wet sand. If it’s not sticky enough or a bit too dry, add a teaspoon or two of water. 

When the granola tart base is cooled, it gets crunchier and a bit delicate (read: it takes the mastery of a magician to get them out of the standard tins). That is why I highly recommend loose-bottomed ones. 

Date & Almond Granola

How to Make Granola at Home?

While there is nothing wrong with store-bought granola, it has to be the best quality. A better option is to make it at home. And why not? It's so easy to make and you'll have a yummy breakfast/ snack on hand for days!

Trust me; homemade granola is a delectable base for breakfast tarts. After all, you have full control of the ingredients!

My go-to version is date and almond, and it is uber easy to make. In a bowl, mix almond, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, puffed amaranth and puffed rice with rolled oats. Separately, gently heat coconut oil and honey so that they just about melt and blend.

Fold the dry and wet ingredients together along with a pinch of cinnamon powder and some pure vanilla extract. Spread it on a baking tray in a single layer, and then slide it in the oven! 

For the final touches, I stir in some dates and dried cranberries into the granola after the baking is done and let the mixture cool down. Date of almond not to your palate? Then use my matcha granola recipe!

Getting Ready the Granola Tarts for Breakfast

They’re tender. They’re crispy. And they’re loaded with nutrients. But what I adore about granola tarts for breakfast is they are ready to be served in a jiffy.

Take them out of the fridge, leave them on the counter (to soften the base a tad bit), and then scoop a dollop of creamy, unsweetened Greek yogurt and a few slices of fresh and dried fruits of your choice.

I used strawberries, gooseberry, and goji berries. To give the edible bowls of wonder a bit of crunch, I sprinkled a few pumpkin seeds and then topped it over with a drizzle of honey. But you can as easily customize the topping with chocolate chips, nuts, or any seasonal fruit.

How to serve granola tarts?

From the very first bite till the very last crumb, the granola tarts have the perfect crust-to-filling ratio. That said, it is best to add the yogurt filling just before serving. If you let them sit for a long period of time, the yogurt makes the base soggy, and the snack loses its wonderful crunchiness. 

Apart from a quick breakfast, granola tarts are the quintessential pick-me-up for a tired evening or a small snack for kids coming home from school. You can even serve it as a dessert.

How to Make the Granola Tarts Vegan?

Remember I said the recipe is very vegan-friendly? All you need to do is swap the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and the honey with maple or date syrup. For those looking for a gluten-free version, get your hands on gluten-free certified oats and follow the rest of the recipe!

Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others. That’s why I’m always eager to hear from you! So go right ahead and drop a comment or reach out on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, or Facebook. I hope you love this breakfast granola tart recipe!

    Is there a substitute for amaranth? I’m having trouble sourcing it where I live.
