Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups oats
- ½ cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave)
Chocolate
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, dried cranberries or raisins, peanut butter, maple syrup, and ground flax seeds until the mixture is fully blended and holds together.
- Melt chocolate: Gently melt the vegan chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler. Once melted, stir half of the melted chocolate into the oat mixture to evenly distribute the chocolate flavor.
- Shape cups: Roll the mixture into small balls and press each into a lined or lightly oiled mini muffin tin to form the peanut butter cups. For larger cups, a regular muffin tin can be used instead.
- Top with chocolate: Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the top of each peanut butter cup to provide a smooth chocolate coating.
- Refrigerate to set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the cups are firm and set. Serve cold for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- You can substitute raisins if cranberries are not available.
- Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option without added sugars.
- Store the peanut butter cups in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
- Ensure the muffin tin is properly lined or oiled to easily remove the cups.
