How to Make Monster Cookie Oat Cups
make oatmeal
Place oatmeal, honey, peanut butter, and mini chocolate chips in a bowl and stir to combine mix all ingredients together until combined.
When it seems dryadd 1 to 2 teaspoons of water.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of rolled oats into the bottom of each muffin pan and press firmly into the cup.
Mix in the chocolate layer
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. heat chocolate on high for 20 seconds, until chocolate is melted, stirring occasionally.
Scoop 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate and add it on the oat layer. Rotate the muffin tin in a circle to lightly spread the chocolate over the oatmeal.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Make the peanut butter layer
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and coconut oil Microwave the mixture 15 seconds and stir to combine.
Add 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture to the top of the chocolate layer. Swirl the pan again to distribute the peanut butter evenly.
Then, add mini M&Ms and mini chocolate chips to the top of each cup.
Leave to set in the freezer
Place the muffin tin in the freezer Let sit for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
When the oatmeal has set, remove it from the muffin tin and Put them in a freezer bag and store the oatmeal in the freezer. Enjoy now or later!
variations
Swap Nut Butter: can not do peanuts? Use almond butter or cashew butter instead.
Add extract: A bit of vanilla or almond extract in the base of this would be delicious.
Use another mini chip: We love mini chocolate chips in these oat cups, but mini peanut butter chips, caramel chips, or white chocolate chips would also taste great.
Use a dried or freeze-dried fruit: Instead of mini M&Ms, use dried or freeze-dried fruits like strawberries, raisins, or blueberries.
Can I use a full size muffin pan instead?
Feel free to use a regular sized muffin pan instead of a mini muffin pan. You’ll make fewer oat cups overall, but each will obviously be a larger size. Yummy!
