Ingredients
– 1.5 cups peanut butter (any type, natural or standard brand)
– 1.5 cups rolled oats (processed finely into oat flour)
– 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (honey can be substituted)
– 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet recommended; dark, white, milk, or other types work)
– 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, aids smooth chocolate melting and setting)
Instructions
1-Processing the Oats: First, process the rolled oats into fine oat flour using a food processor. This step takes just a minute or two and sΖ‘ makes the base for your cups. Once done, set it aside while SEC you prepare the rest.
2-Mixing the Base: Next, heat the peanut butter and maple syrup in a microwave-safe bowl for 40-60 seconds, then stir until they combine smoothly. Gradually mix in the oat flour until the mixture thickens and becomes easy to mold. If it’s too dry, add a bit more maple syrup or peanut butter; you can even include pumpkin puree for added moisture and ΠΆΠ΅ΡΡ a seasonal twist.
3-Forming the Cups: Now, press the peanut butter oat mixture evenly into each muffin hole in your prepared pan. This helps the cups hold their shape once they set. For more information on healthy snack ideas, check out our guide to healthy snacks.
4-Adding the Topping: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl using 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Pour this over each cup and smooth the top, then add options like flaky salt or mini chocolate chips if you like. As a tip, refrigeration is essential for no-bake treats like these due to fresh ingredients such as maple syrup.
5-Setting and Storing: Refrigerate the cups for 2-3 hours until they’re fully set, then remove them from the pan or liners. Store them airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The preparation time is about 10 minutes of work plus chilling, making it a quick option for anyone.
