Press the oat mixture into a silicone mini or regular cup pan, melt the chocolate with a little extra peanut butter for creaminess, pour the chocolate over each cup, then chill until firm. No baking required.
Best Tools for Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups

Unsalted Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups
- 1 cup natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 ¾ cups gluten free rolled oats
Vegan Chocolate Topping
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped refined sugar-free chocolate
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted natural creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Place a silicone baking pan on a medium baking sheet for support. Mini pans make thicker cups and release easily.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and maple syrup until combined.
- Warm the mixture in 20-second increments, whisking between each, until it’s warm and slightly glossy (about 1½–2 minutes total). For stovetop, warm gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat until just bubbling, then remove from heat.
- Fold the oats into the peanut butter mixture until evenly coated.
- Using a small or medium cookie scoop, portion the mixture into the cups. Press and smooth the tops so the dough is evenly distributed.
- Make the chocolate topping: melt the chocolate and the extra peanut butter together (double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts), stirring until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over each cup, tapping the pan to level the topping.
- Chill in the freezer for 15–25 minutes until firm. Store and serve as directed below.
Notes
- Storing: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 1 month. They firm up after the first day if left at room temperature.
- Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe container or bag for 1–2 months. Thaw at room temperature 5–15 minutes before eating.
- Stovetop option: Warm peanut butter and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking until blended and slightly bubbling, then combine with oats.
