Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup milk (choose either dairy or your preferred non-dairy option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for a sweet touch)

1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for added crunch)

Cupcake liners (to line muffin tin)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Muffin Tin: Start by lining a muffin tin with cupcake liners. This step makes it easy to remove the cups once they are frozen and ready to eat.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are evenly combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

        Merge Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir the two mixtures together until they are thoroughly combined; the resulting mixture should be thick yet moist.

          Add Extras: For an extra flavor boost and added texture, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts or seeds into the oat mixture.

            Scoop into Liners: Using a spoon or an ice cream scooper, carefully distribute the mixture into the lined muffin tins, filling each liner about 3/4 full to allow for any expansion while freezing.

              Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the oat cups to freeze for approximately 2 hours, or until they are completely firm and frozen solid.

                Serve: Once the oat cups are frozen, carefully remove them from the muffin tin and peel off the cupcake liners. You can enjoy them right away or transfer them to an airtight container to store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

                  Optional Serving Suggestion: These Frozen Peanut Butter Oat Cups make a fantastic quick snack or breakfast treat. For a delicious twist, consider drizzling extra peanut butter on top or adding slices of banana before serving.
