    Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups

    These easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Baked Oatmeal Cups are the perfect healthy breakfast or whole grain snack on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups are a super moist, healthy, and delicious on-the-go breakfast or snack with no oil or added sugar!

    I mean truly, to achieve this level of unparalleled moistest (my sincerest apologize to the 99% of you who abhor that word) with ZERO oil involved is not to be believed.

    Perhaps we can blame the ripe nanners (mine were almost black) or the cashew milk, but regardless of the cause, I wholeheartedly promise that this recipe become a new family fave in no time.

    To be honest, I've been making these muffins every single week for about two months now. Originally I made them for my boyf because he loves having lots of snack for the week. Then I realized how amazing they were so I started to whipping up my own.

    I basically took my Lemon Coconut Baked Oatmeal Cups, swapped out the lemon for extra milk, subbed almond butter for peanut butter, and added some cocoa and protein to make them more of a hearty snack. If you don't want to use protein, just leave it out and use a couple tablespoons less milk!

    I tried baking batches at 375F for 20 minutes and then 350F for 25 minutes and I finally found that 350F is the key temperature. I also discovered that using chia seeds instead of flax helps them hold together even more.

    Regarding bananas, I use very, very over-ripe ones---about 3 ½ medium bananas or 3 large ones. The best thing about these is that they're so forgiving! I usually don't even measure the peanut butter or cocoa.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups are a super moist, healthy, and delicious on-the-go breakfast or snack with no oil or added sugar!

    Silk unsweetened almond or cashew milk are my go-to liquids of choice when it comes to baking and smoothies. You just can't beat that creaminess! The cashew milk is definitely thicker and creamier if that's your jam. I love that it has zero grams of sugar and is free of artificial colors and preservatives along with saturated fat and cholesterol. Perfecto!

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups are a super moist, healthy, and delicious on-the-go breakfast or snack with no oil or added sugar!

    The more muffins, the merrier. That's what I always say!

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 tbsp chia seeds + 6 tbsp water
    • 3 medium to large ripe bananas, mashed (the more ripe the better)

    4. Add protein powder, oats, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined.

      They look great but here is my opinion on them, after making them, they turned out a bit dry and lacking flavour in my opinion, can't really taste the peanut butter I used myProtein natural peanut butter and vanilla protein as well. Still good but not as great as I thought they would be. My nutrition added up to 226kcal, 10.3g P, 36g C and 6.8g F. Thanks for the recipe.
