Healthy Peanut Butter Monster Cookie Oat Cups
Ingredients:
– 2 cups rolled oats
– 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup mini M&Ms
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini M&Ms, reserving a few for topping if desired.
4. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down slightly to compact.
5. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and M&Ms on top of each oat cup for a colorful finish.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the oat cups are golden around the edges and set.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the muffin tin before removing to prevent breaking.
