I have a granola infatuation, and I’m constantly dreaming up new flavors and new ways to use granola for every purpose. If you’re a regular around here, that’s no surprise – you’ve seen a whole bunch of granola recipes over the years.

To be honest, I’m surprised these granola crust breakfast tarts haven’t come along sooner, considering they have a whole lot of granola goodness going for them, and they’re a twist on my favorite breakfast: yogurt, berries, and homemade granola.

For me, it doesn’t get a whole lot better than that…especially since I don’t eat eggs for breakfast! Also, the crust to filling ratio is on point for a granola lover like me. The granola crust means you get a whole bunch of granola in every single bite. Swoon.

We make the granola crust a bit differently than regular granola to help it hold together while maintaining that classic warm granola flavor. Instead of rolled oats, I used quick-cooking oats. I tested the recipe both ways and the smaller quick oats definitely held together better in the crust. The rolled oats made for a less firm, more crumbly crust. If you only have rolled oats, I’d recommend pulsing them just a few times in a food processor or blender to break them down a bit.

In addition to the classic oats, almond flour and tapioca flour help the crust get super crispy, while also giving some structure to the breakfast tart crust so they’ll hold up when you take them out of the pan. Coconut sugar, salt, and cinnamon add a hint of sweetness and warmth.

Coconut oil is my fat of choice here. We incorporate it into the dry ingredients in solid form and work it into the flour similarly to the way you would for a crumble topping. Finally, finely chopped pecans and almonds add that nutty crunch that granola just needs.

Once the granola breakfast tart crusts are baked in their cute little tart pans, you’re pretty much done with the hard work. From here, you can make and serve the tart immediately, OR you can store the granola crusts in the refrigerator or freezer until you’re ready to eat.

I recommend assembling these fresh, right before you want to eat them for the best results. However, you can make them about a day ahead of time. They’re so easy to put together, though, so do it the day of.

When you’re ready to eat, grab a crust and top with a big scoop of yogurt. Swirl in your favorite jam and top with loads of beautiful fresh berries. Ta-da! Your beautiful breakfast tarts are served.

You can make these all at once and serve for a brunch get together, or make the granola crusts and stock them in the fridge for a quick-to-put-together breakfast on rushed mornings. And if you’re into not-too-sweet desserts? These breakfast tarts can star at the end of your day, too. Enjoy!
