Description

Craving a sweet, healthy treat? These No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups are rich, chewy, and packed with flavor—ready in minutes with just a few ingredients! 🥜✨


Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for a smoother texture)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil for about 30 seconds until softened. Stir well to combine, then mix in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

Fold in the rolled oats, cinnamon, and optional mix-ins (chocolate chips or nuts). Stir until the oats are fully coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Step 3: Fill the Muffin Cups

Line a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cups, pressing down slightly to compact them.

Step 4: Chill and Set

Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until firm.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Once set, remove the oat cups from the muffin tin and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.


Notes

✔️ Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture. If using natural peanut butter, stir well before adding.
✔️ For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top before chilling.
✔️ Want it sweeter? Add an extra drizzle of honey or a handful of dark chocolate chips.
✔️ Double the batch! These store well, making them great for meal prep.
