This recipe is a mash up of two of the all time most popular recipes here on the blog – Frozen Fruity Yogurt Bites and Easter Egg Breakfast Popsicles. So many people loved the Easter Egg Popsicles, I knew I had to make another version that can be eaten all the year around, not just for Easter! Adding sticks to my ever popular frozen fruity yogurt bites seemed the natural solution – the sticks make them easier to hold and eat and everything tastes better on a stick anyway, right?!
One of the great things about this recipe is just how easy it is to make. I’ve been making recipes like this with my little ones since they were around 2 years old – even the littlest toddler can spoon in the yogurt and sprinkle over the fruit and granola. My youngest demonstrated this by helping me make the video above, he’s very proud of his efforts and keeps asking to watch the video back!
Healthy Frozen Yogurt Breakfast Pops
Ingredients:
- 750g 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 yoghurt alternatives such as soya yoghurt also work for this recipe.
Equipment:
- 9 silicone muffin or cupcake cases
- lollipop sticks or cake pop sticks
Method:
Lay 9 silicone cups out on a small baking tray or plate. Be sure to check that the tray or plate fits into your freezer first.
Place a spoonful of yoghurt into the bottom of each silicone cup. Add a few raspberries and blueberries, then sprinkle a spoonful of granola into each cup.
Dollop over some more yogurt, until each cup is nearly full.
Push a lolly stick or cake pop stick into each cup, standing straight up if possible. You can also put the sticks at a slight angle if freezer space is an issue.
Place mould in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the yogurt is frozen through and solid.
Once frozen, carefully press the pops out of the cups, leave them on a plate at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften a little then serve immediately.
Store any leftover pops in an air tight container or bag in the freezer until ready to eat.
Note: Avoid using paper cupcake or muffin cases for this project as they will get stuck to the frozen yogurt. Silicone cups are much easier to remove and reusable too.
