Ingredients 🛒
- 1½ cups peanut butter (natural or creamy both work!)
- 1½ cups oat flour (just blend rolled oats in a food processor until fine)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Toppings (optional): flaky salt, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions 👩🍳
1️⃣ Make the Base
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup.
Microwave for 40–60 seconds and stir until smooth and well combined.
2️⃣ Add Oat Flour
Gradually stir in the oat flour until the mixture becomes thick and moldable.
(It should feel like a soft cookie dough.)
3️⃣ Press into Muffin Tin
Grease a muffin pan or line with cupcake liners.
Scoop the mixture evenly into 12 cups and press down firmly with your fingers or a spoon to form the base.
4️⃣ Make the Chocolate Topping
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
5️⃣ Assemble
Pour a spoonful of melted chocolate over each cup and smooth the top.
Sprinkle with flaky salt or your favorite topping while still warm.
6️⃣ Chill & Serve
Place the muffin pan in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours to set completely.
Once firm, pop the cups out and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

- Nut-Free Option: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter.
- Gluten-Free Friendly: Just make sure your oats are certified gluten-free!
