Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Any nut or seed butter can be swapped in.
  • 2 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats Quick oats can be used for a different texture.
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup Substitutes include honey, agave, or date syrup.

Equipment

  • Medium-sized bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine a generous scoop of creamy peanut butter with maple syrup. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats until well coated and evenly distributed, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Scoop the mixture into silicone molds or a lined muffin tray, pressing down evenly to create a compact base.
  4. Add a dollop of additional peanut butter on top of each cup, and place the molds in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  5. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl with a drizzle of oil, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the oat cups, ensuring they are fully coated, and return to the freezer for another 20 minutes.
  7. Once set, remove from molds and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve and enjoy!
