Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240g) natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup (80ml) honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups (180g) of rolled oats and a pinch of sea salt.
- In a smaller bowl, mix 1 cup (240g) of natural peanut butter, 1/3 cup (80ml) of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined. If adding chocolate chips, fold in 1/3 cup (60g) at this stage.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the tin from the oven and let the oat cups cool completely before removing them from the liners.
- Store the oat cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
Use natural peanut butter for the best flavor and texture. Avoid overbaking as the oat cups will firm up as they cool. Feel free to add mix-ins like dried fruit, seeds, or shredded coconut for extra texture.
