    How to make peanut butter oats bites?

    There will come a time when I’m ready to turn on the oven again. That time is not now. So, I’m happy to continue with my no-bake recipe streak. This one is an adaptation of Nadia’s Healthy Kitchen with a few tweaks to her peanut butter oat bites recipe.

    If you love and adore the idea of having chocolate not just for dessert but any time of the day or night, don’t sleep on this recipe!

    Step 1: Make your oat base by mixing rolled oats, peanut butter, and maple syrup until everything is well moistened and clumpy. 

    Step 2: Spoon the mixture into silicone cups, press it down, and then place them in the freezer for a few minutes to set. 

    Making the oats base

    Step 3: Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler. Add peanut butter. Then whisk, whisk, whisk till it’s shiny and glossy,

    Step 4: Pour over the oat base. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. 

    Step 5: Place them back in the refrigerator till completely set.

    Simple tips

    • I used smooth peanut butter. But after having 2 (or 3) of these cups, I’d say crunchy peanut butter would have been oh so glorious!
    • To make it easier to transport the peanut butter oat bites, put your silicone cups in a mini muffin tray. Don’t have silicone liners? Mini muffin paper cups work just as well. 
    • Don’t rush the chilling time. Give these tiny bites of healthy heaven at least 2 to 3 hours of refrigerator time to get that perfect texture and consistency. 
    • Don’t have time for the cups to firm up? Expedite things by sliding them into the freezer. 
    • I’ve made plenty of batches by now, and all of them had a good shelf-life. Just transfer the peanut butter oat bites into an airtight container and store them in the fridge.

    Peanut butter bites with just 4 ingredients (and a few variations)!

    Oats

    I used old-fashioned rolled oats for these peanut butter chocolate cups, and they are extra chewy for sure. If you don’t enjoy the heartier texture, use instant oats to give the cups less of a bite. While oats are naturally gluten-free, grab only certified gluten-free oats, if that’s where your appetite lies, because cross-contamination is common with them. 

    Peanut butter

    The recipe has barely any ingredients, so please make sure they are of the best quality you can get your hands on. Natural and organic peanut butter is what I prefer. Homemade will work wonders!

    If you’re using store-bought, make sure it contains only peanuts, and no added sugars or flavors.  Almond butter is a great choice, or for those with allergies, seed butters.

    High-quality chocolate

    Anytime I want to bump up the overall flavor of any of my recipes, I sneak in dark chocolate. And these peanut butter oat bites were no different. The dairy-free, 70% dark chocolate was insanely good and brought balance to the creamy peanut butter. 

    In case that tiny hint of bitterness is not up your alley, try 55% chocolate. Even milk chocolate would be a delicious match.

    Maple syrup

    Chocolate and PB make a decadent duo, but maple syrup ties the two layers together. Other sweeteners that pair well in these peanut butter chocolate cups are honey or date syrup.
