Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups made with just five simple ingredients, featuring a crunchy peanut butter oatmeal base and a creamy chocolate ganache topping - a delicious, healthy treat!
Equipment
- Whisk (or fork)
- silicone muffin tray (or aluminum muffin tray lined with paper cases)
Ingredients
- 80 g Peanut Butter
- 80 g Liquid Sweetener
- 160 g Oats
- 100 g Dark Chocolate
- 50 g Milk (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and liquid sweetener. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
- Stir in the oats (and a pinch of salt if using unsalted peanut butter). Mix until all the oats are evenly coated.
- Roll the mixture into evenly sized balls, adjusting the size based on preference (about 10 for standard cups). Press each ball firmly into the bottom of a silicone muffin tray, packing them down tightly to form a solid base. Alternatively, press the mixture into a small dish or loaf tin if making bars.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove for more control.
- Spoon the melted chocolate evenly over each oatmeal cup, covering the surface completely.
- Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the cups are firm and set.
- Once set, pop the cups out of the silicone tray. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.

TIPS & NOTES:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your recipe will come out perfectly.

NUTRITIONAL INFO:
These nutritional values are provided as a guide only and may be different depending on your ingredients and measurements.
- Peanut Butter Consistency: Use natural, runny peanut butter for easy mixing. If using thicker peanut butter, warm it slightly for a smoother texture.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the liquid sweetener to taste. For a sweeter treat, add an extra teaspoon.
- Chocolate Topping: If you prefer a solid chocolate topping, skip the milk and just add the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter oatmeal cups.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Enjoy straight from the fridge or let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Customizations: Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter, or use dairy-free chocolate for a fully vegan version.
