Dried Cherry Granola Cups with Greek Yogurt and Berries

Granola is one of those breakfast and snack items that a lot of people buy, which is a shame because it’s one of the simplest things in the world to make at home. Throw together some oats, your favorite additions, a little bit of fat and pop it into the oven – you’ve got yourself an easy, healthy breakfast that lasts all week.
