Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 tbsp oat flour
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (use Enjoy Life if vegan)
Instructions
- Prepare the peanut butter mixture: In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, oat flour, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined and a dough-like texture forms.
- Form the base layer: Line a mini muffin tin with muffin liners. Scoop out 12 small portions of the peanut butter mixture and press them evenly into the muffin liners, forming the base of the peanut butter cups.
- Melt the chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add chocolate layer and set: Spoon the melted chocolate evenly over each peanut butter base in the muffin tin.
- Freeze to set: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
- Use vegan chocolate chips such as Enjoy Life for a vegan-friendly recipe.
- If oat flour is not available, you can pulse rolled oats in a blender until finely ground.
- Store the cups in the freezer or refrigerator to keep them firm.
- Customize by adding a pinch of sea salt on top for a salted peanut butter cup variation.
- These cups can be kept in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer.
