Do you get a bit fed up of chocolate in the run up to Easter and wish you could feed the kids some healthier Easter treats? I know my boys eat far too much chocolate over Easter so this year I'm trying to come up with some fun healthier alternatives for Easter treats, starting with this delicious Easter egg breakfast popsicles recipe.
If you have any trouble loading the tutorial video above, click here to watch it on YouTube, and don’t forget to subscribe to the Eats Amazing YouTube channel while you are there for lots more easy recipes, tutorials and fun food ideas.
This super simple recipe is a great easy recipe for kids to make themselves, my two year old absolutely loved helping me to make these and was very proud indeed when the time came to taste test them, proudly declaring 'I made this!' several times to everyone present in the room at the time!
Getting kids involved in the kitchen is such a great way to build confidence, not to mention so many valuable life skills that will stay with them forever.
I made these in a fun Easter egg shaped silcone mould to keep them seasonal for this time of year, but you could use any shape mould or silicone muffin cups too, or if you prefer you can also make them up in an ice lolly mould instead.
Easter Egg Breakfast Popsicles Recipe
Ingredients (makes 6):
- 500g yogurt*
- handful granola
- handful blueberries
- handful raspberries
*I used three flavours of yogurt which gave these some really pretty colours, but you can use whatever flavour you prefer. For a really healthy treat, natural or Greek yogurt is perfect because it doesn't have any added sugar. Dairy free yogurt alternatives such as soya yogurt would also work for this recipe.
Equipment:
- Egg shaped silicone mould or muffin cups
- lollipop or cake pop sticks
Method:
Place a small dollop of yogurt into each egg in your silicone mould, filling each egg to about a third. Push chunks of granola into the yoghurt, then add a few raspberries and blueberries to each egg too.
Place a lolly stick into each compartment, laying it down as flat as possible.
Fill each egg to the top with yogurt, making sure it covers all of the fruit and the lolly stick.
Place mould in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the eggs are frozen through and solid. Once frozen, pop out of the moulds, leave the popsicles on a plate at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften a little then serve immediately.
Store any extra popsicles in an air tight container or bag in the freezer until ready to eat.

How many calories are in each of these?
Grace says
Hi there, I'm afraid I can't really answer that as it would depend on what type/brand of yoghurt you use and also what type of granola. You could use an app like MyFitnessPal to calculate it based on the brands that you use. You can use low fat or fat free yoghurt to make these if you are trying to keep your calories low. Hope that helps!
Chloe says
It would depend on the yoghurt and fillings you use. The OP cakln not possibly know what brand if yoghurt granola etc that you use or the size of the mood that you use.
Grace says
These are SO cute and very festive! I cannot wait to make them!
Grace says
Thank you, I hope you enjoy them!
Nicole says
How many does this make?
Grace says
Hi Nicole, it very much depends on the size of your silicone mould, but I made 6 from this recipe. It's very flexible though, you can make as few or many as you like, just vary the quantities to suit you needs.
Val says
Where can I buy the silicone molds
Robin lewis says
I recently tried to order a couple molds from your website and apparently you do not ship to Canada . Is there a reason you don't want to sell to Canadians
Grace says
Hi Robin, I'm afraid that we only ship to addresses in the UK at present, this is due to the very high cost of international postage from the UK. Very sorry not to be able to help you!
Lisa says
Can I do these in a muffin tin? Couldn't find a silicone mold I have a mini muffin tin. I know it won't be egg shaped but still want to make them for tomorrow.
Grace says
Hi Lisa, you can use any mould, but you might have trouble getting them out of a metal tin - maybe try lining it with cupcake/muffin liners first? Failing that, if you make them in a metal tin you could dip the base of the tin into hot water to loosen them a little before popping them out.
Mommy says
What is everyone finding to be a healthy low sugar nutritious granola?
Melissa says
Does the granola soften up because of the yogurt? I've never really tried granola with my yogurt, it always just seemed weird. lol.
Grace says
Hi Melissa, yes, it does soften in the yogurt. You should try it, it's a delicious combination!
Anna says
Hi. Can I use low fat Greek Yogurt? Would it freez the same?
Grace Hall says
Hi Anna, low fat greek yogurt will work just as well, I often use a fat free yogurt to make these. 🙂
