No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups
No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups are the ultimate Healthy Snack, blending creamy, nutty goodness with a touch of sweetness in an easy, no-fuss recipe. Kid-approved and perfect for any time of day, they’re a must-try for busy snackers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 100g rolled oats
- ½ cup 125g natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup 60ml honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup 45g dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
- ½ tsp 2.5ml vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of kosher salt if using unsalted peanut butter
Instructions
Mix the Base
- In a mixing bowl, I combine 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup peanut butter, ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup), ½ tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. I stir until the mixture is sticky and well blended—don’t be afraid to get your hands in there!
Shape the Cups
- I line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners or use a silicone tray for easy removal. I spoon about 1 tbsp (15g) of the mixture into each cup, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon to form a compact cup shape.
Add Chocolate Topping (Optional)
- If using chocolate, I melt ¼ cup dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth (about 45–60 seconds total). I drizzle or spread a thin layer of chocolate over each oat cup for a decadent touch.
Chill to Set
- I pop the muffin tin in the fridge for at least 1 hour to let the No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups firm up. Once set, I remove them from the tin and dig in!
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage.
- Add-Ins: Try adding shredded coconut, chia seeds, or crushed nuts for extra texture and nutrition.
- Nut Butter Alternatives: Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
