Ingredients
  

For the Oat Base
  • 2 cups Rolled oats Do not substitute with quick oats, as they yield a mushy texture.
  • 1 cup Natural peanut butter Ensure it is well-stirred; smooth peanut butter is best for binding.
  • 1/2 cup Honey Use the recommended amount for ideal texture; add more only if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional but recommended for depth of flavor.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips Could be swapped with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut oil Can be replaced with any neutral oil if needed, but coconut oil is preferred for texture.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon
  • cooking spray

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine rolled oats, natural peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
  2. Lightly spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Using your hands or a spoon, evenly divide the oat mixture into each muffin cup.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Carefully spoon the melted chocolate over each oat cup, making sure to cover the oat base completely.
  5. While the chocolate topping is still warm, optionally sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each cup.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the freezer, allowing the cups to set for at least one hour.
  7. Once set, gently remove the oat cups from the muffin tin and arrange them on a plate.
