Peanut Butter Oat Cups
Peanut butter oat cups are an easy no-bake treat made with peanut butter, oats, and a layer of melted dark chocolate on top.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crunchy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicone muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey until smooth and well combined. Add the oats and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Divide the mixture between the muffin cups and press it down firmly into an even layer.
- Add the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the tops of the oat cups and spread it out evenly.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set and the cups are firm.

Notes
- Press the base firmly: Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to pack the oat mixture down well so the cups hold together once chilled.
- Use muffin liners for easy removal: Paper or parchment liners make it much easier to lift the peanut butter oat cups out cleanly.
- Melt the chocolate gently: Microwave in short intervals and stir often so the chocolate stays smooth and does not scorch.
- Chill until fully set: Let the cups chill long enough for the chocolate topping to firm up and the oat base to hold its shape.
- Store them cold: These keep their texture best in the refrigerator or freezer, especially if your peanut butter is on the softer side.
