Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for topping)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well mixed and sticky.
-
Form the Cups: Spoon the mixture into a mini muffin tin, pressing firmly to form cups. For easy removal, line the tin with cupcake liners or use a silicone muffin tray.
-
Add Chocolate Topping (Optional): Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle or spread a little melted chocolate on top of each oat cup.
-
Chill and Serve: Place the muffin tin in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the cups to firm up. Once set, remove from the tin and enjoy!
Notes
-
For added nutrition, you can include shredded coconut, chia seeds, or crushed nuts in the mixture.
-
If you prefer, substitute the peanut butter with almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter.
-
To make it vegan, swap honey with maple syrup and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
