No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups of rolled oats
- 1 cup of lightly salted peanuts or unsalted, if you prefer
- 1/3 cup of honey
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter divided
- 5 tablespoons of melted coconut oil divided
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional: 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend together 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup peanuts, 1/3 cup honey, half of the creamy peanut butter (1/2 cup), 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and optional 2 tablespoons chia seeds until it forms a slightly sticky texture.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with muffin liners or greasing it lightly with coconut oil.
- Use an ice cream scoop to form a base layer in each muffin cup, leaving a small well in the center for the peanut butter filling.
- In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter until smooth and pourable. Spoon it into the well of each oat cup.
- Place the muffin tin in the freezer and let it flash freeze for about 15-20 minutes until the peanut butter is firm.
- While waiting, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil until smooth.
- Once the oat cups are firm, pour the melted chocolate over each cup, covering the peanut butter filling.
- Return the muffin tin to the freezer and let the cups freeze completely, usually for about 1-2 hours.
- Once frozen, drizzle some additional peanut butter over the chocolate topping for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve these frozen peanut butter oatmeal cups straight from the freezer and savor the deliciousness!
