Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of blueberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey, and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries start to burst.
Gently mash some of the cooked blueberries to achieve a saucy texture while leaving some pieces whole. Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and adjust sweetness. Set aside to cool.
For a thicker swirl, reduce heat to low, stir in ½ teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water, and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 2-3 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Lightly mist silicone molds with nonstick cooking spray. If using a baking tray, line it with parchment paper.
Mix together ½ cup of granola, crushed biscuits, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut. Drizzle in melted coconut oil or butter. Press about 1 teaspoon into each mold.
Spoon half of the cooled blueberry sauce into the yogurt and gently fold to create swirls.
Spoon the yogurt mixture into molds, top with reserved blueberry sauce, and use a toothpick to create additional swirls.
Freeze the molds for at least 3–4 hours or overnight until completely firm.
Let the bites sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes or thaw in the refrigerator for 30–45 minutes before serving.
