No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups Recipe

No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups 🍯🥜

These no-bake peanut butter oat cups are a quick, wholesome, and satisfying snack made with just a few pantry staples. Naturally sweetened, chewy, and customizable with add-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit, they’re perfect for meal prep or a healthy grab-and-go treat.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes + chilling
  • Yield: 12 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your tools. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Mix the base. In a medium mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until evenly combined and sticky.
  3. Add extras. If using mini chocolate chips or other mix-ins, fold them in gently.
  4. Fill the cups. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing down firmly so they hold together.
  5. Chill and set. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes until firm.
  6. Serve and store. Remove from tin and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Add variety with shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a healthier choice, but stir well before mixing.
  • Pressing the mixture firmly is key to help the cups hold together.
