Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to prepare for mixing.
  2. Prepare Mixing Bowl: Choose a medium-sized bowl suitable to comfortably combine all ingredients.
  3. Warm Peanut Butter: Add 1/2 cup peanut butter to the bowl. If it is firm, warm it slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for easier mixing.
  4. Add Honey: Pour 1/4 cup honey into the bowl with the peanut butter.
  5. Add Flaxseed: Incorporate 1/4 cup ground flaxseed to the wet mixture.
  6. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir thoroughly to combine peanut butter, honey, and flaxseed evenly.
  7. Add Oats: Add 1 cup rolled oats to the wet mixture.
  8. Combine Ingredients: Mix oats into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated, scraping the bowl sides if needed.
  9. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips without melting them.
  10. Prepare Molds: Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  11. Fill Molds: Scoop the mixture into each muffin cup and press down lightly to form compact cups.
  12. Chill: Place the filled muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  13. Remove and Serve: Take the peanut butter oat cups out of the fridge, carefully remove from the muffin tin, peel liners if used, and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Warming peanut butter slightly helps with easier mixing but avoid overheating to keep ingredients from separating.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a healthier version with no added sugars or oils.
  • The cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or seeds.
