Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract if using, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture is sticky and evenly combined.
  2. Form Cups: Spoon the mixture into a mini muffin tin lined with cupcake liners or a silicone muffin tray and press firmly to shape the mixture into cup forms.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips by heating in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Top Cups: Drizzle or spread a small amount of melted chocolate over each oat cup for a delicious finishing touch.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the cups to firm up and set properly. Once set, carefully remove the cups from the tin and enjoy your no-bake snack.

Notes

  • To prevent sticking, use silicone muffin trays or line the tin with cupcake liners.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
  • These cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter.
