- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly to create a smooth blend.
- Add Oats: Stir in 2 cups of rolled oats to the peanut butter mixture, ensuring all oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold 1/4 cup of chocolate chips into the oat mixture, distributing them evenly for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Add Milk: Pour in 1/4 cup of milk to help bind the ingredients together, stirring until the mixture is thick and sticky.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact and shape the cups.
- Chill: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour until the cups are set and firm.
- Unmold and Store: Remove the cups from the muffin tin, peel off paper liners if used, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
- You can substitute almond or cashew butter for peanut butter if preferred.
- Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a vegan option.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or dried fruit along with the oats.
- If mixture is too dry, add a splash more milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Keep refrigerated to maintain firmness and freshness.
