Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

6 slices whole grain bread (sturdy variety preferred)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon additional ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Fresh fruit for topping (e.g., banana slices, mixed berries)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread Cups: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the 6 slices of bread, trim off the crusts, and then use a rolling pin to flatten each slice thoroughly. After flattening, brush both sides of the bread slices generously with melted butter.

    Shape the Cups: Gently press each buttered bread slice into the wells of a muffin tin. Ensure that the base is flat and the sides extend upwards to form a cup shape. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.

      Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix together using a whisk or spatula until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended.

        Assemble the Cups: Once the baked bread cups have cooled slightly and can be handled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Spoon the prepared yogurt mixture into each of the toasted bread cups, filling them generously to create a delightful treat.

          Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon until evenly mixed. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture over the tops of the yogurt-filled cups to add an extra layer of sweetness and flavor.

            Freeze the Cups: Arrange the assembled cups on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt is fully frozen and well set.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the cups from the freezer and allow them to sit for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. Top with your choice of fresh fruit, such as banana slices or mixed berries, to enhance the flavors and presentation. Enjoy your refreshing frozen Greek yogurt cinnamon toast cups!
