Description

These No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups are a simple, chewy, and satisfying treat that requires no baking. With a rich peanut butter flavor and the wholesome chewiness of oats, they’re perfect for an afternoon snack, post-workout treat, or a sweet indulgence without the hassle.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
  2. Add Oats and Flaxseed: Add the rolled oats to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine. If using flaxseed, add it now and mix well.
  3. Press into the Pan: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease it. Spoon the oat mixture into each muffin cup, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact it.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and gently press them into the mixture to make sure they stick.
  5. Refrigerate to Set: Place the muffin tin in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or 20-30 minutes in the freezer to speed up the process.
  6. Enjoy: Once set, remove the oat cups from the muffin tin and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy straight from the fridge for a chewy, satisfying treat.

Notes

  • Peanut Butter Type: Use smooth peanut butter for a uniform texture, or crunchy peanut butter for extra texture and peanut flavor.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level. You can also use agave nectar as a substitute.
  • Add-ins: Try adding dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, or mini marshmallows for variety. Chia seeds or coconut flakes are also great options.
