Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats and peanut butter until thoroughly mixed and sticky enough to hold together.
- Press Into Cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into silicone or paper-lined muffin cups, pressing down firmly to create compact cups.
- Chill to Set: Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and hold their shape before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter variation, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
- If you want a firmer texture, chill the cups overnight.
- Using dark chocolate adds a richer flavor and less sweetness.
