I’m a fan of oats but I’m not a huge fan of bowls of oatmeal. I mean I know oatmeal is healthy but it’s just not that satisfying to eat. Well, at least that’s what I used to think until I discovered these oatmeal cups! They are exactly like a muffin but so healthy and nutritious, I couldn’t believe it when I tasted them.

Chocolate peanut butter oatmeal muffins are super soft making them perfect for teething babies and toddlers (feel free to skip the chocolate chips if you want), they are packed with protein and are great for snacking or to serve as a quick breakfast. You can also serve them with some dalgona coffee if you’re feeling extra fancy.

And then you can also play with all the toppings and fix-ins to include what you have, what your family loves, or what you’re craving.

  • Oats: The base of this recipe. If you want to make them gluten-free make sure you are using some certified gluten-free oats. You can use rolled oats, quick-cooking oats, or whatever you have on hand.
  • Peanut butter: This is what gives peanut butter baked oatmeal cups their flavor, and also adds the little bit of fat they have (these are made sans butter or oil after all!). You can also use almond butter, sunflower butter, cashew butter or any other nut or seed butter you like.
  • Maple syrup: To sweeten them up! If you prefer you can use honey or agave syrup as well. Just about any sweetener that’s syrup-based would work.
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking powder
  • Chocolate chips: Because everything is better with a little bit of chocolate
