Breakfast pecan granola tarts
These breakfast pecan granola tarts are a fun twist on a granola and yogurt bowl. They’re perfect for a brunch party!Â
Most mornings I alternate between my three go-to breakfasts: yogurt & granola, protein shakes, and oatmeal. Â As much as I love my traditional breakfast routine, sometimes it’s fun to mix it up!
I came up with the idea to make granola tarts one morning while I was enjoying my yogurt with berries and maple pecan granola.
I had one of those “ah-ha!” moments while I was stuffing my mouth (usually when I find my inspiration) and decided to try turning one of my favourite breakfasts into fun little tarts.
This recipe is so easy to make and you can store the tarts in a Tupperware for a couple weeks. I love making these breakfast pecan granola tarts when I have guests over for breakfast or brunch.
I lay out a “tart making station” and everyone can choose their own toppings. My favourites to use are fresh fruit, but you can mix these up and add shredded coconut, chocolate chips, drizzled peanut butter…whatever your heart desires!
