Description

No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups are a creamy, delicious treat combining a smooth peanut butter oat base with a rich melted chocolate topping. This easy-to-make, no-cook recipe yields a healthy snack perfect for the whole family to enjoy. With natural sweeteners and wholesome ingredients, these cups are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Oat Layer

  • 1.5 cups peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats, processed finely in a food processor to make oat flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make Oat Flour: Blend the rolled oats in a high-speed blender or food processor until finely ground to create oat flour.
  2. Combine Peanut Butter and Maple Syrup: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 40-60 seconds, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely combined and smooth.
  3. Mix in Oat Flour: Gradually add the blended oat flour to the peanut butter mixture. Mix well using a spoon or food processor. The mixture will be thick and moldable. If too dry or crumbly, add additional maple syrup or peanut butter, about a teaspoon at a time. Optionally add 1/4 to 1/3 cup pumpkin puree for extra moisture.
  4. Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners or use a silicone muffin pan. Note that removing the cups will be easier with liners.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly scoop the peanut butter oat mixture into each muffin hole. Press down firmly with your fingers to form compact bases.
  6. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe small bowl, combine chocolate chips and optional coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  7. Add Chocolate Layer: Pour melted chocolate over each peanut butter oat cup, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon. Optionally sprinkle flaky salt, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips on top before chocolate sets.
  8. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cups for 2-3 hours to allow them to set fully.
  9. Serve and Store: Carefully remove cups from liners or silicone pan. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best freshness.

Notes

  • To make the cups moister, add pumpkin puree to the peanut butter oat mixture.
  • Use silicone pans or liners to prevent sticking and make removing the cups easier.
  • If mixture is dry, add a little more maple syrup or peanut butter gradually.
  • Store these no-bake cups refrigerated due to the fresh ingredients and natural sweeteners.
  • For added texture or flavor, sprinkle flaky salt or chocolate chips on top before the chocolate hardens.
