Take a bite of one of these Fruit and Granola Tartlets, a perfect treat to share at a summer party or a quick on-the-go breakfast or snack!
I’m back, sorry it’s been so long! A lot has happened since I last posted which was, oh my, two months ago! On April 10th I became a mom! Yes, that’s right, our son Nasan has been taking up a lot of my time recently but we’ve been enjoying every minute of it. I mean how can you not love that face 😀

It has been a crazy but wonderful six weeks since his arrival but I haven’t been doing too much cooking. As much as I have been grateful for all the meals we had made for us by family and friends I have been itching to get back into the kitchen! And this week I finally did. All for this month’s recipe redux theme “Small Plates for Sunny Days”. Small plates and finger foods are my go to these days. Anything I can eat in one hand while nursing or holding a baby is good by me!
These Fruit and Granola Tartlets make for a perfect healthy summer treat that can easily eaten in one hand! The crust, made with oats and walnuts, has a nice nutty crunch while the filling, made with siggi’s yogurt, milk and chia seeds, is thick and creamy. These tartlets are filled with fiber, protein and heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids making them perfect for a snack or even breakfast. I have been enjoying them just about anytime of day and expect they will be a reoccurring treat in our house this summer!
