These soft, lightly sweet, No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups are the perfect healthy snack to fix a sweet craving with healthy, wholesome ingredients. A quick and easy healthy snack for peanut butter lovers that takes sous 20 minutes faire.
Every week in my house, I prepare homemade no-bake snacks, made from oats, nut butter, and maple syrup. This is my favorite combination of ingredients that you will often find in my no-bake dessert recipes, like my 3-ingredient peanut butter oatmeal balls ou ma healthy no-bake oatmeal bars.
In terms of texture, I created these oat cups to be a mix between my no-bake peanut butter energy balls , l’aspect économique no-bake peanut butter bar. The bottom of the cups is soft, chewy, packed with maple and peanut butter flavors and bits and pieces of oats.
In the center, a dollop of creamy peanut butter is topped with a crunchy dark chocolate layer on top. The taste is close to my vegan peanut butter cups, packed with peanut butter flavors. But oats and flax meal add crunch and texture.

Ingrédients et substitutions
You need very simple ingredients to make no-bake snacks like these no-bake oatmeal cups. The key is to get a muffin pan and paper liners or a silicone muffin pan.
- Flocons d'avoine à l'ancienne – This ingredient adds texture to the cups. It is coarse and thick but a little less absorbent than quick oats. Feel free to use gluten-free certified oats if you need them.
- Flocons d'avoine are the finer version of oats, and in no-bake desserts, they absorb moisture more than regular oats, which holds the ingredients together nicely.
- Flax Meal – Most no-bake oatmeal recipes won’t add any flax meal. I do because it’s high in fiber and binds the ingredients together, making the no-bake treats less soft and chewier. You can skip or swap for chia seed meal or oat flour.
- de sirop d'érable or any liquid sweetener you have on hand like agave syrup, coconut nectar, or rice syrup.
- Beurre d'arachide is the crucial ingredient in this recipe. Make sure your nut butter is natural without added oil or added sugar. The recipe works with any nut butter, like almond butter, or seed butter, like sunflower seed butter, for a nut-free option.
- Extrait de vanille pour la saveur
- Le sel to enhance the chocolate flavor. Don’t add salt if your peanut butter is already salted.
- Pépites de chocolat noir create a crunchy chocolate layer on top of the cups.
- L'huile de noix de coco, or plant-based butter, is used to melt the chocolate chips.
Making The No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Cups
The technique to make a no-bake dessert is pretty basic and simple. All you need is to line a 12-hole mini muffin pan with paper liners – that’s how you will shape the no-bake oatmeal cups.
- Stir peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Fold in the dry ingredients: oats, quick oats, flax meal, and salt.
- Stir until the batter is sticky and consistent.
- Divide the oatmeal mixture into the prepared mini-paper cups and pack very well using the back of a spoon, creating a sort of depression in the center of the cup.
- Stir peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter filling in the center of each cup. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a glass bowl in the microwave.
- Cover the top of each cup with melted dark chocolate. Pop the baking sheet in the freezer for 12 to 15 minutes to quickly harden the chocolate shell.
Conseils de Carine
- Use fresh peanut butter – If your jar is a few weeks old, the peanut butter will be hard, dry, and too difficult to stir with the remaining ingredients.
- Pack the mixture firmly in the paper cups – This is important or the cups will fall apart when you remove the paper liner.
- Keep the cups small using mini muffin trays – Large oatmeal cups are fragile and break easily.
- Use paper liners – Even if you are using a muffin silicone pan, add the paper liners or the cups get difficult to unmold.

Merci beaucoup!
These peanut butter cups are excellent! I made them to bring to a friend’s house for dinner. I used the full-size muffin tin, which made 12 perfectly with the oats mixture. The peanut butter filling seemed very scant, and I thought I almost needed more but adjusted each to fill all 12 cups. The chocolate made way too much, and only needed about 1/2 of it…so saved the rest for another batch. These are best eaten chilled and had the right proportion of filling to chocolate and oats. Full-size muffin tin was about a 6-bite treat! Will definitely make them again. Thank you!
Je vous remercie!!
