Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Oats: Stir in the old fashioned rolled oats, mixing thoroughly until all the oats are fully coated with the wet ingredients.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts if using, ensuring an even distribution through the mixture.
- Fill the Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups. Use the back of a spoon to firmly press down and compact the mixture in each cup.
- Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and let the cups chill for at least 1 hour or until they are firm and set.
- Serve and Store: Once set, remove the cups from the liners and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter or cashew butter for peanut butter to vary the flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure the chocolate chips used are dairy-free.
- These peanut butter oat cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.
