Description
Quick and easy no-bake peanut butter oat cups that are rich, creamy, and perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups peanut butter
- 1.5 cups rolled oats (processed finely in a food processor to make oat flour)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by blending the rolled oats in a high-speed blender or food processor until they turn into a fine oat flour.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add your peanut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 40-60 seconds, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is beautifully combined and creamy.
- Gradually add the blended oats to the peanut butter mixture, mixing well. If the mixture appears too dry, add a bit more maple syrup or peanut butter.
- Prepare your muffin pan by lining it with cupcake liners or using a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
- Scoop the mixture into each muffin hole, pressing down firmly to form compact cups.
- In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Pour a layer of melted chocolate into each muffin hole, smoothing the top. Sprinkle toppings if desired.
- Refrigerate the cups for 2-3 hours to set completely. Once solid, carefully remove them from the pan.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
These oat cups can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. Feel free to customize with different nut butters or sweeteners.
