Description
These no-bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups feature a chewy oat base, a creamy protein-packed peanut butter center, and a rich dark chocolate topping finished with sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
2/3 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter (for filling)
3 tbsp protein powder
1 tbsp peanut butter (extra for topping dollops)
1 cup chocolate chips (melted)
Flakey sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 2/3 cup peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until smooth.
- Stir in the old fashioned oats and mix until the grains are fully coated.
- Distribute the oat mixture into silicone muffin molds, pressing down firmly with a spoon to create an even base.
- Mix the 1/2 cup peanut butter with protein powder and spread a layer over each oat base (or use a dollop of plain peanut butter).
- Place the mold in the freezer for 20 minutes to set the middle layer.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over each cup and spread to the edges.
- Freeze for an additional 20 minutes before removing from the molds and sprinkling with sea salt.
Notes
- Use silicone liners for the easiest removal.
- If the chocolate is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil while melting.
- Store in the freezer for the best texture.
