Star Ingredients and Their Superpowers

These ingredients don’t just taste good—they fuel your body too:

đŸ„œ Peanut Butter

Creamy, plant-based, and rich in healthy fats and protein. Peanut butter makes the base of these cups ultra-satisfying and indulgent.

🧁 Greek Yogurt

Adds moisture, protein, and a creamy texture that mimics classic cookie dough—without butter or eggs.

🍯 Honey or Maple Syrup

Provides natural sweetness with added nutrients and antioxidants. Choose based on your taste preference.

đŸŒŸ Oat Flour

Made from finely ground oats, oat flour is gluten-free (if certified) and gives these cups their dough-like structure.

đŸ« Mini Chocolate Chips

A classic cookie dough must-have! They melt slightly when mixed in, creating delicious gooey bits throughout each bite.

Creamy Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Oat Cups Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup oat flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Mix the wet ingredients
In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or syrup), and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.

2. Add the dry ingredients
Stir in the oat flour and salt. Mix until a thick, soft dough forms. The texture should resemble classic cookie dough.

3. Fold in chocolate chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Reserve a few for pressing into the tops if you like a pretty finish.

4. Press into molds
Spoon the dough into mini silicone muffin molds or lined mini muffin tins. Press the tops down gently to flatten.

5. Freeze to set
Place the molds in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until the cups are firm enough to hold their shape.

6. Store properly
Once set, remove the cups from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Customization Ideas

Make these oat cups your own with fun twists:

  • Nut-Free: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.

  • Dairy-Free: Swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt like almond or coconut yogurt.

  • Add Crunch: Stir in chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or toasted seeds.

  • More Chocolate? Dip the bottoms in melted dark chocolate after freezing.

  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the mix for a twist.
