Description
These no bake peanut butter oat cups combine creamy nut butter, oats, and rich chocolate for an easy, wholesome treat everyone loves. They are a quick snack using simple pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Optional topping: flaky sea salt or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper or silicone liners.
- Place rolled oats in a food processor and blend until fine like flour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 40 seconds, then stir until smooth and combined.
- Add the processed oats to the peanut butter mixture and mix until thick and dough-like. If too dry, add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup at a time until moldable.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin liners and press firmly to form an even base layer.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Spoon melted chocolate over each peanut butter oat base and smooth the tops.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt or mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until the chocolate is firm.
- Remove cups from liners and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- The mixture might need extra maple syrup if your peanut butter is very thick.
- Process the oats until they reach a flour-like consistency for the best texture.
- Store finished cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
