Peanut Butter Oat Cups
With only 4 ingredients and no baking, these peanut butter oat cups are a great alternative if you are looking for something which is more wholesome but still tastes like an indulgent treat. They also have 7g of protein per cup.
Ingredients
Base ingredients
- 1¼ cup gluten free rolled oats (100g)
- ⅔ cup smooth, natural peanut butter (160g)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Topping
- ⅔ cup vegan dark chocolate chips (100g)
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
Instructions
- To make the base, mix the peanut butter with the maple and oats until fully combined.
- Split the mixture into 10 pieces and press down into a silicone cupcake tray. Refrigerate whilst you make the topping.
- For the topping, melt the chocolate in a bowl over some hot water. Stir through the peanut butter and pour a spoonful over each cup. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
Notes
- Store in the fridge to keep them nice and hard and they will last for about a week.
- I like to toast the oats in the oven for 10 minutes before making but this is entirely optional. I just think it gives them a slightly nuttier flavour.
- I use quite a runny peanut butter. If yours is thicker you may need to add more (or add a little milk to help it combine with the oats).
