Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Press into Muffin Cups: Line a muffin tin with liners and divide the oat mixture evenly among the cups. Press down firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
- Melt and Add the Chocolate Topping: If using chocolate, melt it with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Pour a thin layer over each oat cup and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Chill Until Firm: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the oat cups have set completely.
- Enjoy and Store: Remove from the muffin tin and enjoy immediately, or store them in an airtight container for later.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or granola.
- Reduce honey or maple syrup for a less sweet version.
