Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted creamy peanut butter
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Topping

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted creamy peanut butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 8 tablespoons of unsalted creamy peanut butter with 6 tablespoons of maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Oats and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the rolled oats and vegan chocolate chips into the peanut butter and maple syrup mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Form the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down gently to compact the mixture and form firm cups.
  4. Add Topping: Warm the remaining 5 tablespoons of peanut butter slightly to make it easier to spread. Spoon and spread the peanut butter on top of each cup evenly as a delicious topping.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the filled muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow the oat cups to firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Serve and Store: Once chilled and set, remove the cups from the tin and paper liners. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Ensure peanut butter is creamy and unsalted for best flavor balance.
  • For a nuttier texture, lightly toast the rolled oats before mixing.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup to taste.
  • These oat cups are vegan and gluten-free if certified gluten-free oats are used.
  • You can substitute vegan chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruits.
  • Keep refrigerated to maintain freshness and firmness.
