Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
Topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and honey until the mixture is well blended and sticky enough to hold together.
- Form Cups: Spoon the mixture into lined or greased muffin tins or silicone molds, pressing down firmly to compact the mixture evenly.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips using a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals stirring in between or using a double boiler until smooth.
- Top with Chocolate: Spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the top of each oat cup to coat the surface.
- Chill: Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up completely before serving.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or salt for a healthier option.
- Rolled oats work best for texture; quick oats may result in a mushier cup.
- Ensure the peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Store the cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Optional: add a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for added flavor.
