Prep Time 20 minutes
Serving Size 24 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup protein powder vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed meal
  • 1 Tbsp milk, any kind

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • flaked sea salt, optional

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl mix the first 5 ingredients, and press equal portions into a silicone muffin pan. I prefer the mini muffin pans. 
  • While you are pressing the mixture into the pan, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together using the double-boiler method.
    Double-boiler method: Take a small saucepan, and fill it 1/4 of the way with water. Place it on the stove, with medium-high heat. Place a slightly bigger glass bowl, medium size, over the saucepan. Now you can melt the chocolate chips in the glass bowl without them touching the water beneath.
  • Once the chocolate chips are melted completely, carefully remove the glass bowl from the stove using an oven mitt.
  • Pour tablespoon portions onto the peanut butter mixture to completely cover them. This total amount of melted chocolate is the perfect amount to cover 24 peanut butter cups.
  • Optional: Top with flaked sea salt. Then, let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the chocolate to harden.
  • Pop each peanut butter cup out of the silicone mold and serve.
