Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1¼ cup gluten free rolled oats (100g)
  • ⅔ cup smooth, natural peanut butter (160g)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

Topping Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup vegan dark chocolate chips (100g)
  • 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base mixture: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the natural peanut butter with the maple syrup and gluten-free rolled oats until the mixture is fully combined and sticky enough to hold together.
  2. Shape the base cups: Divide the oat and peanut butter mixture into 8 equal portions. Press each portion firmly into the molds of a silicone cupcake tray, creating an even base layer. Place the tray in the refrigerator while preparing the topping to allow the base to firm up slightly.
  3. Make the chocolate topping: Melt the vegan dark chocolate chips gently by placing a bowl over simmering hot water (double boiler method). Once melted, stir in the smooth peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble and set: Spoon a generous amount of the chocolate and peanut butter mixture over each oat base cup, spreading evenly to cover the top. Return the tray to the refrigerator and leave for at least 30 minutes to allow the cups to fully set. Once firm, remove from the molds and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a silicone cupcake tray for easy removal of the cups once set.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with agave syrup or honey if not strictly vegan.
  • Keep the oat cups refrigerated until serving to maintain their shape and texture.
  • For a crunchy texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds to the base mixture.
  • These cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
