Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240g) peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (120ml) honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (90g) dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut oil
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners or silicone liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup. Stir well until evenly combined.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to pack the mixture into a solid base.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Pour a spoonful of melted chocolate over each oat cup, spreading it gently to cover the top. Optionally, create a swirl pattern with the back of the spoon.
- Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the cups are firm and the chocolate is set.
- Once firm, remove the cups from the muffin tin and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Pack the oat mixture tightly into the muffin cups to help them hold together. Melt the chocolate slowly to avoid burning, and customize the sweetness to your preference by adjusting the honey or maple syrup.
