Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. If including optional add-ins like nuts or seeds, chop or prepare them now for even distribution.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy to bind the oats effectively.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the rolled oats and any optional add-ins such as mini chocolate chips or seeds. Mix until everything is evenly coated and the mixture sticks together.
  4. Form the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Spoon the mixture into each cup, pressing firmly to compact and shape so they hold well after chilling.
  5. Chill Until Firm: Refrigerate the muffin tin for at least one hour to allow the oat cups to set and achieve the ideal bite-ready texture.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added oils or sugars for better melting and binding.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the muffin tin to ensure the cups maintain shape after chilling.
  • Customize sweetness by adjusting honey or maple syrup according to taste and peanut butter sweetness.
  • Do not skip chilling; it is essential for texture and ease of removal.
  • Store finished cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and chewy.
