Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups traditional rolled oats

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup natural honey
  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate pieces
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • Sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oats and Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, natural honey, smooth peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky enough to hold together.
  2. Form the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or use a silicone mold. Press the oatmeal mixture evenly into the bottoms and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a sturdy base and border.
  3. Melt the Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate pieces along with the coconut oil until smooth and glossy. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Add the Chocolate Layer: Pour or spoon the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter oat cups, spreading evenly to cover the oat layer. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cup for enhanced flavor.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
  6. Serve and Store: Once set, remove the cups from the molds and enjoy immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier snack.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Ensure the rolled oats are traditional and not instant for better texture.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
  • Keep these cups refrigerated as the peanut butter and chocolate may soften at room temperature.
