6 Ingredients No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Cups (Vegan)
The whole family LOVED these little cups; they were gone in under 24 hours. They give off serious Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups vibes but way more healthy, loving and delicious. With only 6 ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry already – these NEED to be made!
This recipe is so simple to make. Simply mix up the ingredients in a bowl. Divide the mixture up into 10 muffins slots and flatten them as best as you can. Freeze for at least 2 hours. Then get your peanut butter chocolate mixture going, melted in a small pot on LOW heat. Top with the chocolate and some flaky salt, freeze some more and enjoy!

What’s the serving size for the nutrition value thank you 😊
Hi Lori, this recipe yields 10 PB cups.
So if I eat 10 it’s only 249 calories?
calories or not you will feel sick if you eat 10 of these at once
Wouldn’t that be awesome if 10 were 249 calories? a girl can dream
Is the 294 calories each or total for all?
Is this natural peanut butter or the reg kind?
Hi Debbie, I always use natural creamy peanut butter, where the only ingredient is peanuts (and salt). I never use JIF
Confused? Do u eat these frozen?
Hi Kathy, they never really get frozen. If they are too hard for you by chance, let them come to room temp for 15 minutes and then dig in!
Outstanding, simple, and quick!
I’ve made free-hand using 1/8 cup to make 12. They go fast!
Hi Katherine! They do go too fast! Glad you enjoyed!
Everyone really liked these!9
Hi Kim! That’s great to read! Thank you for the rating too!
Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?
Hello Heidi! Yes.. you can definitely sub in almond butter.
So easy to make. Made them for a marathon party. They were gone in minutes after the race!! Next time I will make them in a mini-muffin pan for of a bite-size treat.
Hi Becky! That is a great tip! This recipe just goes too fast!!
How long do theses last in the freezer? Thanks
a couple of weeks i’d say
The calories given above is for one portion?
I made them and were great!
This is delicious, so easy to make!!
Made these! Quick and easy, loved it. I made it in a square 8×8 pyrex. I did not freeze it either, wonder why you suggest it. I put it in the fridge until the chocolate hardened and then cut into squares… Also kept it in a container at room temperature. Forgot the salt and did not have enough maple syrup so I replaced half of it with brown sugar..and used natural crunchy peanut butter. Maybe that helped in a way to be able to cut into squares, it did not look as chewy like in you video, but so delicious.
Hi Lena, OOHHH i like your idea to make them into bars and using crunchy PB! Thanks for sharing the tips and for rating the recipe!
I made these in a mini muffin tin and they were just great for a nibble when you don’t want to eat 300 calories. One more thing you can add is a handful of rice crispies to the chocolate/peanut butter mixture for a little texture and crunch on top.
I really like your recommendations! Thanks so much for taking the time to write the message!
Is it 294 calories per oat cup? or would that be for 10 oat cups.
Um, really? It says 10 servings so that would mean 294 calories PER serving. 🙄
Delicious! I made these with jam on top like a PB&J cup because my kids are not big fans of chocolate.
Hi Katie! Love love that alteration! I think I will try that next time! Thank you!!
Obsessed with these. Have made them twice in the past month. They are absolutely delicious!!
Hi Anna! now that’s loyalty – love it!!
These were so easy to make and they dissappeared so fast. Going to make some again for our Climbing Trip. 🤗
Can I make them n an ice cube tray?
Thats an interesting idea.. i’m not sure about how easily they would come out though…
Hi! Are these supposed to be made in a regular sized muffin pan? If I wanted to do them in a mini muffin pan, should I fill them to the top with the oat mixture first?
Hi RO, only fill the mini muffin tray 3/4 cup way full.
Can I use gluten free flour instead of almond flour?
HI Jessica, I would use ground up nuts or seeds as an alternative or oat flour. If the gluten flour doesn’t have any particular taste associated to it, then it should work as well.
I used gluten free 1:1 flour when I made it and I liked them a lot! Didn’t even notice. It was Bob’s Red Mill brand!
My absolute favourite new snack! Love it so much
Hi Hollie, Glad you tried it and you enjoyed it!
These were delicious!!
Hi Vicki, Thanks for trying the recipe! Glad you enjoyed!
Can I use just regular flour instead of almond flour or will that completely change the recipe?
Hi Megan, I haven’t tried it but it might work. The taste might be ‘floury’
These are a favorite. I make them in the mini muffin pan and they are perfect bite-size snacks that all my family loves. They don’t last long!
Thank you so much for trying this recipe and I need to switch to mini muffin tray myself because you’re right! They don’t last!
These are fantastic! They don’t last long and have turned into my favorite sweet treat. The second time I made them I subbed in vanilla protein powder for the almond flour. Still turned out great and had some extra protein. I like them the original way better but the protein option was good too. Thank you. I also plan to try almond butter but don’t think they will hold together as well.
Hi Amy, thank you! I’m glad that you tried out the protein powder and it worked so nicely! I think I’m going to have to try it that way too!
Hello Stella,
Is the nutritional information above based on batch values or per oat cup?
Thank you
Leanne ❤
easy and delicious!
soooo easy
soooo good
These are DELICIOUS! Absolutely a new staple in the house – so good!
Just made and wow! I think I will need to hide them so my kids don’t eat them all. I will admit that I couldn’t wait the two hours of freezing time so I went ahead and topped mine with the chocolate mixture after putting them in my bar pan (I made ten bars instead of muffins). After about 30 minutes in the freezer, I couldn’t resist trying one. Delicious! Great flavor of peanut butter and oats with the chocolate. I will likely make them even smaller next time for that perfect nighttime treat with a cup of tea.
I used Almond Butter, added a good dash of flax meal and Chia seeds. plan to drizzle a tad of dark chocolate on top of the mini cups ! can’t wait to try . Thanks !
Easy, delicious and a definite winner for high fiber plus protein.
So gooooodddddd!
Really delicious. I skipped the salt but made them with salty peanuts. Great texture
I have made a few Peanut butter cups before but your recipe is my fav so far.
I have put my own little twist this time..I made mini ones and hollowed out the centre a little and in some I boysenberry jam and some with pistachio butter before putting in the freezer then topped with the chocolate. On top I put a sprincle of pistachios on the pistachio ones. (not as healthy but oh so good)
Raw oats? No need to cook them first?
Just raw!
Can I use almond meal in replace of the almond flour?
Hi Becky, that’s the same thing!
Such a great recipe! Thank you so much. It was so easy to make and absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try more of your awesome recipes!
we haven’t even eaten these yet. they’re in the freezer but what we had off the spoon was amazing! I did this to the recipe except I added a little bit of coconut flake to it and next time we will have some cinnamon too.
we added just a tiny bit of butterscotched chips to the chocolate to give it a bit of a scotcheroos feel.
Hi Jenna, love the butterscotch chips add in – genius!
These are so delicious!
Had to double recipe they r so good and taste great!!
Glad you enjoyed them!!
O.M.G.
Omg. Delicious!
Hi Kay, glad you liked them!
hmmmm i wonder if you could use protein powder in place of the almond flour
Hi Darla, i haven’t tried it but it should work!
I thought oats have to be cooked
These are so amazing! I halved the mixture and added to a 12-hole mini muffin pan and for the chocolate topping I did 1/8 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup cacao powder and 1/2tbs peanut butter. This is my new fave snack!
Hi Jazzy, love these in mini muffin tray! Great idea1
Hi! would sunbutter work? peanut allergy here!
Hi Rachel, absolutely sunflower seed butter works here!
made them and it works well! they just get a little melty out of the freezer for awhile but that’s definitely not a problem at all! they kinda of taste like tagalongs, which I love!
Made these last night with honey and they turned out great! They are really rich though, I’m thinking they would be perfect in something like a mini-muffin pan! Thanks for the recipe, will definitely be making again, but perhaps smaller next time 🙂
Hi Dana, glad that you liked the oat cups and thanks for sharing your feedback!
