Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ⅔ cup natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the rolled oats, almond flour, peanut butter, and maple syrup to a bowl and mix until well combined and incorporated
  • Spoon out tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter oat mixture into each cup of a mini silicone 24-cup muffin pan (Image 3). Use the pan of a spoon to firmly press the mixture into each muffin cup to create a smooth top.
  • Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Give it a stir and reheat it in 10-second intervals (making sure to stir between each interval) until the chocolate is fully melted.
  • Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate on top of each mini muffin cup and smooth it out to form the top layer.
  • Place the muffin tray in the freezer for 30 minutes (or until the chocolate fully sets). Pop the mini oatmeal cups out of the silicone tray and serve!

Notes

  • Make sure to press the peanut butter oatmeal mixture firmly into the mini silicone muffin pan so that it all binds and sticks together well once chilled.
  • Use natural peanut butter (one that lists just peanuts and salt as the ingredients) so that it is drippy in texture and easy to mix in with the oats.
  • If you prefer the oatmeal cups to be less sweet, you can slightly reduce the amount of maple syrup, but don't reduce it by too much so that the mixture is sticky enough to bind.
  • Feel free to add in any of your favorite add-ins like finely-chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little extra peanut butter for added moisture.
