Instructions

Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal of the oat cups.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Add Oats: Incorporate the rolled oats into the wet mixture, stirring until all oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact each cup well.
Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the cups are firm and set.
Store: Once set, remove the cups from the liners and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their firmness and freshness.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup.
You can replace peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter according to preference.
To add extra texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or chia seeds.
Keep refrigerated to maintain the firmness and freshness of the cups.
