Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter that has been stirred well for the best texture.
  • If the mixture feels too sticky, add an extra tablespoon or two of almond flour.
  • Silicone muffin molds make it easy to remove the oat cups once they are set.
  • Allow the chocolate layer to fully harden before unmolding for clean edges.
  • Maple syrup can be used in place of honey to make the recipe vegan.
  • Store chilled, as the oat cups will soften at room temperature.
  • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still warm for the best flavor.
