These easy peach and raspberry fruit cups are the perfect treat. They are great as a quick dessert or as a new and fun way to serve breakfast.

Super quick to make, perfect to make ahead and easily customisable, they will become your go-to fun breakfast for a crowd.
How to make peach & raspberry fruit cups
Firstly, mix oats, peanut butter and maple syrup together until well combined. Separate the mixture into 6 and spoon into a cupcake cases or a silicone cupcake tray.
To make the cup shape, press down in the centre to create a small indent in the middle of each one. I use the end of a rolling pin to make the indent. You can also do this with your fingers.
They are then baked for about 12 minutes until crisp and delicious.
Once baked, let them cool fully. They can then be filled with yoghurt as well as the peach and raspberries.
WHAT ARE THE BEST TOPPINGS FOR YOGHURT CUPS?
Well first and foremost, yoghurt! If you want to be extra indulgent, you could use a plant-based cream or a cashew cream. However, I think a plain, thick soya or coconut yoghurt works best. I used organic, unsweetened soya yoghurt for these ones.
To top these fruit cups, I use a sliced peaches and some fresh raspberries. However, use whichever seasonal fruit you like.
HOW TO STORE YOGHURT CUPS
You can make the base in advance and store in the fridge until you need to use them. They will last 2-3 days.
Once filled it’s best to eat within 24 hours. They should also be stored in the fridge.
CAN YOU FREEZE YOGHURT CUPS?
Yes these yoghurt cups freeze really well. This is particularly helpful if you want to fully prepare beforehand.
Just take out of the freezer about 20 minutes before you serve (no need to fully defrost as it’s nice with the frozen yoghurt).
They are also great on a hot day fully frozen.

RECIPE TIPS:
- You can make the base beforehand and store in the fridge until you need to use them. They will last 2-3 days.
- If you are not a fan of peaches/raspberries then they also work well with apple or slices of banana (especially if you drizzle over some extra peanut butter).
- I use a silicone cupcake tray for mine, making it very easy to release the cups. You can also use a metal tray and use cupcake cases.
- I use gluten-free jumbo oats for these but feel free to use any oats you like. ideally, jumbo or rolled oat – not the tiny porridge ones.
- If you don’t like oats then you can also sub out for buckwheat or millet flakes.
- I use a very runny smooth peanut butter for the base. If your peanut butter is harder, you may need to add a little more to ensure the dough is sticky enough.
