Description

These Peanut Butter Oat Cups are an easy, no-bake snack made with just a few pantry staples. They’re naturally sweetened, full of fiber and healthy fats, and taste like a peanut butter cookie in bite-sized form. Keep them in the fridge or freezer for a quick, satisfying snack anytime!


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • Optional topping: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or melted chocolate for drizzling


Instructions

  1. Line a muffin tin with silicone liners or paper liners.

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, peanut butter, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt until well combined.

  3. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups and press down firmly to form a solid base.

  4. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate chips or drizzle with melted chocolate.

  5. Place the tray in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

  6. Once set, remove from liners and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.


Notes

  • To make it vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey.

  • Add 1–2 tablespoons of chia seeds or ground flaxseed for an extra nutrition boost.

  • You can also add a scoop of protein powder for higher protein content—just add a splash more coconut oil or syrup if the mixture gets too dry.
