Ingredients
Oat Mixture:
- 2 1/4 cups traditional rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural honey
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Topping:
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate pieces
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Additional:
- Sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine oats, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the oats are thoroughly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture.
- Prepare the Muffin Tin and Add Mixture
Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the oat mixture evenly between the muffin cups, pressing the mixture down slightly with the back of a spoon for a firm base.
- Melt and Spread the Chocolate
In a small bowl, place chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Spoon the melted chocolate on top of each peanut butter oat cup and use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly over the surface. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
- Freeze and Serve
Place the muffin tin in the freezer and let the cups set for about an hour. Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the peanut butter oat cups from the muffin tin. Serve immediately, or store leftovers.
- Storage Instructions
Store any leftover oat cups in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy your homemade treats whenever you need a quick, satisfying snack!
Notes
- You can customize these oat cups by adding nuts, dried fruits, or seeds to the oat mixture for extra flavor and texture.
- Feel free to use milk or white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
