Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the rolled oats and creamy peanut butter until fully incorporated, forming a sticky mixture.
- Form Cups: Press the oat and peanut butter mixture evenly into silicone muffin cups or a lined muffin tin, shaping them into cup forms.
- Chill to Set: Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and hold their shape before serving.
- Add Chocolate Topping: Once set, melt the chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler and spoon a small amount on top of each oat cup, then refrigerate again until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet and healthier option.
- For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or seeds.
- Store these cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Chocolate topping is optional but adds a nice flavor contrast.
- If you prefer, substitute chocolate with white chocolate or skip it for a pure peanut butter oat experience.
