Yogurt Granola Tarts

This is adapted from a recipe in the book Modern Hospitality by Whitney Miller.

Preheat oven to 325

Mix together in a small bowl:
1 cup oatmeal (instant or old fashioned
3 Tbs finely chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, whatever!)
4 Tbs liquid fat (canola oil, melted butter or coconut oil)
3 Tbs liquid sweetener (honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc.)
A pinch of salt
A pinch of cinnamon

Divide evenly in a 6 cavity greased jumbo muffin tin.  Press into the bottom.

Bake for 8 minutes then remove from oven and again press mixture down and up the sides slightly.

Bake 5 more minutes or until browned slightly.

Cool in the pan then remove carefully, a pan with removeable bottoms is REALLY nice for this.

Add your favorite fruit and yogurt and prepare to impress people!
Here I used thawed frozen cherries and nonfat plain greek yogurt. 
Chopped apples or mixed berries would be awesome too!
