Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly without melting.
- Fill muffin cups: Evenly divide the mixture among the muffin cups and press down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact the oat cups.
- Refrigerate: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the oat cups are firm and set.
- Serve and store: Remove from the refrigerator and carefully lift the oat cups from the tin. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use quick oats for a softer texture if preferred.
- Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Add chia seeds or shredded coconut for extra texture and nutrition.
