Oatmeal Almond Butter Chocolate Cups
Chocolate is one of my favorite things, especially dark chocolate, that is why I always like to keep some sweet treats on hand. One of my favorite treats to keep on hand are these Oatmeal Almond Butter Chocolate Cups. Creamy almond butter and dark chocolate, yum!
Instead of reaching for the store bought candy bars, I like to reach for treats made with clean ingredients. These are something that you can eat everyday and still feel great about. Those are my favorite kind of treats, like my Homemade Chocolate Almond Bark.
Chocolate Cup Ingredients
- 2 c quick cooking oats
- 3/4 c almond butter
- 2T honey
- 3/4 c mini dark chocolate chips
- 1T coconut oil
How to make Oatmeal Almond Butter Cups
First, put your oats into the blender and pulse a few times.
Once your oats are blended a little bit, add in almond butter and honey to the blender.
Pulse until well combined, set aside.
Place your chocolate chips and coconut oil into a small microwave safe bowl.
Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
Now you are going to assemble your cups.
I used a small ice cream scoop or melon baller to make sure I got even amounts, but you can use a spoon if you don’t have those.
Evenly distribute the almond butter oat mixture into 18 cups.
Using your fingers, press down the almond butter oat mixture into the muffin pan.
Top each cup with chocolate.
FREEZE and ENJOY!
I like mine in the freezer but you could also put them into the refrigerator.
You can also make these as bars instead of cups if you are trying to save time. I do this all the time. Follow the same recipe but press them into a pan instead! This is shown in the video below. Easy!
