- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Topping:

- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (for drizzle, optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Oat Mixture
- In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
Fill the Muffin Cups
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or use a silicone mold. Evenly distribute the oat mixture, pressing it firmly into the bottom of each cup.
Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Top with Chocolate
- Spoon melted chocolate over each oat cup, spreading it evenly. Drizzle extra peanut butter on top if desired.
Chill and Set
- Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve and Store
- Once set, remove from the tin and enjoy. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Substitute almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Add chia or flax seeds for extra nutrition.
