Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by lining a standard muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  3. Firmly pack the mixture into each lined muffin cup using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  4. Pop the muffin tin into the freezer and let it chill for about 15 minutes.
  5. While the oat cups are setting, prepare the chocolate topping by melting the chocolate chips.
  6. Once your oat base has set, carefully pour the melted chocolate over each cup.
  7. Return the muffin tin to the freezer for an additional 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up completely.
