Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups traditional rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural honey May substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter Substitute with almond or cashew butter if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate pieces Can use milk or white chocolate if preferred.
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • Sea salt for garnish Sprinkle on top for taste contrast.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate pieces and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate into the oat mixture, mixing until every ingredient is evenly coated.
  4. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spoon the mixture into each liner, pressing down firmly to create a compact layer.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cup for an added taste contrast.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the cups are set and firm.
