Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 2 1/2 hours
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 2 1/2 hours
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raw honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted
- sea salt flakes, to taste
Filling
- 4 tablespoons all-natural creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons coconut butter (or coconut oil)
Here's how to make it:
- Line a 12-slot muffin tray with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl add the oats, coconut, peanut butter, vanilla and honey or maple syrup. Stir thoroughly to combine (the mixture will be thick). (For gluten-free oat cups, make sure your oats are gluten-free.)
- Divide the mixture equally among the cups of the muffin tray. Using clean hands, create a flat base on each muffin cup. With your thumb gently press in the center to make an indentation (this will hold up our filling). Freeze for at least 2 hours.
- In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter with the coconut butter to create the filling. Stir well. Once the oat cups are set, add into each about 2 teaspoons of the filling directly into the center.
- Drizzle each with the melted chocolate then sprinkle with sea salt flakes, as desired. Place back into your freezer for 10 minutes or just until the chocolate hardens back up. Store leftover candy in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 10 days or in the freezer for two months.
