Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Optional: Chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until well combined. If the mixture appears too thick and difficult to mix, feel free to add a tablespoon of water or milk to help loosen it.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the oat mixture, making sure they are evenly dispersed throughout for delicious bites in every cup.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin tin slot with approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture. Lightly press down on each one to compact them, ensuring they hold their shape while baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. The oat cups are done when the edges appear firm and slightly golden.

                Cool and Remove: Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the oat cups to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Garnish: For an optional finishing touch, sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top of each oat cup. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the presentation.

                    Serve and Enjoy: These scrumptious chocolate peanut butter oat cups make for a perfect snack or breakfast option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for freshness.
