Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats (processed finely to make oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4–1/3 cup pumpkin puree (for moister cups)
  • Sprinkles, flaky salt, or mini chocolate chips (for topping)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice (for pumpkin version)

Instructions

  1. Make oat flour: Blend the rolled oats in a high-speed blender or food processor until they become a fine oat flour.
  2. Warm peanut butter and syrup: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 40-60 seconds, then stir thoroughly to combine until smooth.
  3. Mix oat flour in: Slowly add the oat flour to the peanut butter and syrup mixture. Mix well until the mixture is very thick but moldable. If too dry, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or peanut butter at a time. Optionally, mix in pumpkin puree for added moisture.
  4. Prepare muffin pan: Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners or use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
  5. Form cups: Scoop the peanut butter oat mixture evenly into the muffin pan and press down firmly with your fingers to shape the cups.
  6. Melt chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe small bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Add chocolate layer: Pour a layer of melted chocolate on top of each peanut butter oat cup. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Optionally sprinkle flaky salt, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips before chocolate sets.
  8. Chill to set: Refrigerate the cups for 2-3 hours until fully set. Carefully remove from the muffin pan and liners or silicone mold.
  9. Store properly: Keep the cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a pumpkin variation, add 1/3 cup pumpkin puree and 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice to the peanut butter oat mixture.
  • Use silicone muffin pans for easier removal without liners.
  • If the mixture is crumbly, add a bit more maple syrup or peanut butter incrementally.
  • Store these no-bake treats refrigerated due to fresh ingredients, especially maple syrup.
