Print Recipe

A creamy peanut butter oat layer topped with melted chocolate makes a delicious and easy treat that your whole family will love. These no-bake cups are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without turning on the oven! They’re gluten-free (if using certified gluten-free oats), customizable, and packed with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups oat flour (rolled oats processed finely in a food processor)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 40-60 seconds, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
    • Gradually add the oat flour to the peanut butter mixture, stirring well. The mixture should be thick but moldable. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or peanut butter at a time until it holds together.
  2. Assemble the Cups:
    • Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners or use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
    • Scoop the peanut butter oat mixture evenly into the muffin cups, pressing down firmly with your fingers to create an even layer.
  3. Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Top with Chocolate:
    • Pour a layer of melted chocolate over each peanut butter oat cup. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the chocolate.
    • Optional: Add toppings like flaky salt, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips before the chocolate sets.
  5. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the cups for 2-3 hours, or until completely set.
    • Carefully remove them from the muffin pan and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Raw oats are generally safe to eat as they are steamed during processing. However, if you have a sensitive stomach or are at higher risk for foodborne illness, consider using toasted oats or consulting a healthcare professional.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a layer of jam or banana slices between the peanut butter and chocolate layers.
