Description

These 4-ingredient no-bake peanut butter oat cups are a healthy and satisfying treat made with wholesome ingredients like oats, peanut butter, and maple syrup, topped with smooth chocolate.

Ingredients

8 tablespoons unsalted creamy peanut butter

6 tablespoons maple syrup

1 ¾ cups rolled oats

½ cup vegan chocolate chips

5 tablespoons unsalted creamy peanut butter (for topping)

Optional Add-Ons: 2 tablespoons chopped almonds

Optional Add-Ons: 1 teaspoon chia seeds

Optional Add-Ons: Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Muffin Tin: Line a standard muffin tin with 10-12 paper liners or lightly grease the tin if you’re skipping the liners.
  2. Mix the Oat Base: In a mixing bowl, combine 8 tablespoons of peanut butter and 6 tablespoons of maple syrup. Stir until smooth and glossy. Add 1 ¾ cups of rolled oats and mix until the oats are fully coated.
  3. Portion the Base: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the oat mixture into each muffin liner. Press down firmly with a spoon to form a compact, even base.
  4. Chill the Base: Place the muffin tin in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the oat bases to firm up.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan chocolate chips and 5 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  6. Top the Cups: Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate-peanut butter mix onto each oat base. Spread it to cover the top.
  7. Freeze to Set: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping is firm and the cups are set.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the cups from the muffin tin and peel off the liners. Let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a different flavor, swap maple syrup for honey.
  • Dark chocolate chips can be used for a richer topping.
  • Add a dash of cinnamon to the oat mixture for extra warmth.
  • Incorporate other nuts like walnuts or cashews into the oat base for added crunch.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
