Why This Recipe Works
These No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups are a simple and healthy treat that only needs a few things to make. These are great for a snack or dessert. They have creamy peanut butter, oats, and a little bit of chocolate in them, so you don’t have to bake them. Perfect for days when you need something sweet and healthy but don’t have a lot of time!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of peanut butter that is not processed
- 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips (optional for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt (if you’re using unsalted peanut butter)
Directions
- Put the oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla essence, and a bit of salt in a bowl and mix them together. Mix everything together until it’s sticky and properly combined.
- Put the mixture into a mini muffin tin and press down hard to make cups. Use cupcake liners or a silicone muffin tray to make it easy to get the muffins out of the tin.
- Put the chocolate chips in a bowl that can go in the microwave and heat them up for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until they are smooth. Drizzle or distribute a little melted chocolate on top of each cup of oats.
- Put the muffin tray in the fridge for at least an hour so the cups can harden. Take it out of the tin once it’s set and enjoy!
Additional Notes
