Ingredients

For the Base

2 cups Old-Fashioned Oats provides structure and fiber
1/2 cup Peanut Butter can substitute with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free
1/3 cup Honey acts as a natural sweetener; maple syrup is a great vegan alternative

For the Topping

1 cup Dark Chocolate (60-70% cacao) choose higher quality for better melting
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil helps with smooth melting; butter can be used as an alternative
Flaky Sea Salt optional for garnish

Equipment

Small saucepan
silicone or non-stick muffin pan

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small saucepan, gently heat peanut butter and honey over medium-low heat, stirring for 3-5 minutes until combined.
Remove from heat and let cool for 1-2 minutes, then stir in oats until fully coated.
Divide the oat mixture into muffin pan, pressing firmly to form bases.
Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in the saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Spoon the melted chocolate over each oat cup, spreading evenly.
Place the muffin pan in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up the chocolate.
Once chilled, pop the cups out of the pan and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
