Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups oat flour (rolled oats finely processed in a food processor)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Optional Toppings:

  • Flaky sea salt
  • Sprinkles
  • Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Oat Mixture

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 40-60 seconds, then stir until fully combined.
  2. Gradually add oat flour, mixing well until a thick, moldable dough forms. (If too dry, add 1 tsp extra maple syrup or peanut butter. For a moister texture, add ¼-⅓ cup pumpkin puree.)

2. Shape the Cups

  1. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
  2. Scoop the peanut butter mixture evenly into the muffin cups, pressing down firmly with your fingers.

3. Melt the Chocolate Topping

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Pour melted chocolate over each peanut butter cup, spreading evenly with a spoon.
  3. (Optional) Sprinkle with flaky salt, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips before the chocolate sets.

4. Chill & Serve

  1. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until fully set.
  2. Gently remove from the pan and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
