Ingredients
For the base
- 160g porridge oats*
- 200g peanut butter
- 1-2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- A pinch of salt
For the chocolate peanut butter filling
- 40g dark chocolate
- 100g peanut butter
- Chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/ 350F.
- To make the cups, mix together the peanut butter, coconut oil and maple syrup in a large bowl.
- Fold in the oats and a pinch of salt, then divide into 24 equal portions and press into a mini cupcake tin.
- Use a small measuring spoon (I used a 1/2 tsp) to gently press an indent in the centre to create the cup shape.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, then leave to cool completely.
- Add the dark chocolate to a heat-proof bowl and microwave until melted. Check every few seconds to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth.
- Fill the cups with the chocolate peanut butter and top with an optional sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
