Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients: rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and vanilla extract.
  2. Prepare Mixing Bowl: Choose a medium-sized mixing bowl where you can comfortably combine all the ingredients.
  3. Soften Peanut Butter: Add the peanut butter into the bowl. If it’s thick or firm, warm it slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to ease mixing.
  4. Add Honey: Pour the honey into the bowl with the peanut butter.
  5. Add Ground Flaxseed: Add the flaxseed to the wet mixture.
  6. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir thoroughly, ensuring peanut butter and honey combine well with the flaxseed.
  7. Add Rolled Oats: Incorporate the rolled oats into the wet mixture.
  8. Combine Mixture: Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, scraping the bowl sides if necessary.
  9. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips carefully to avoid melting them.
  10. Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  11. Form Cups: Scoop the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly to compact.
  12. Chill: Refrigerate the muffin tin for at least 30 minutes until cups are firm.
  13. Remove and Serve: Once set, remove cups from the tin, gently peel off liners if used, and enjoy immediately or store refrigerated.

Notes

  • For easier mixing, slightly warm the peanut butter.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • Store cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to press mixture firmly into molds to help cups hold shape.
