Ingredients

Scale

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
  • Sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, natural honey, smooth peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all the oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture, forming a sticky, well-blended base.
  2. Prepare the Muffin Tin and Add Mixture: Lightly spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Evenly divide the oat mixture among the muffin cups, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact the mixture and create a solid foundation for the cups.
  3. Melt and Spread the Chocolate: In a small bowl, combine the dark chocolate pieces and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Spoon the melted chocolate over each peanut butter oat cup, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the flavors.
  4. Freeze and Serve: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the cups to set for about one hour, or until the chocolate topping is firm. Carefully remove the oat cups from the muffin tin. Serve immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier option.
  • Dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content is recommended for a rich flavor and less sugar.
  • These cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to one month.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Press the oat mixture firmly in the muffin tin to help the cups hold together well.
  • Adjust sweetness by choosing honey to your taste or using maple syrup as an alternative.
