Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 70 grams (2.5 ounces) rolled oats
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) smooth peanut butter
- 70 grams (2.5 ounces) dark chocolate
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: drizzle of Biscoff spread
Instructions
- Craft a robust foundation by thoroughly blending rolled oats with smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, and a whisper of salt. Ensure the mixture transforms into a cohesive, slightly sticky texture that will hold its shape.
- Transfer the oat mixture into a silicone muffin tray, carefully pressing and distributing the mixture to create an even, compact base layer. Utilize fingertips to firmly compact each cup’s foundation.
- Temporarily chill the oat bases in the freezer for approximately 10-12 minutes, allowing them to solidify and develop structural integrity.
- While the bases cool, prepare the peanut butter layer by whisking together smooth peanut butter and maple syrup until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Retrieve the chilled tray and generously spread the peanut butter mixture across each oat base, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Gently melt dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring periodically to achieve a glossy, smooth texture without scorching.
- Carefully pour the molten chocolate over the peanut butter layer, using gentle tilting motions to create an elegant, even surface.
- For an indulgent twist, consider drizzling melted Biscoff spread across the chocolate layer, creating delightful marbled patterns.
- Return the tray to the refrigerator and allow the cups to solidify completely, typically requiring 15-20 minutes of chilling time.
- Once set, delicately extract the cups from the silicone tray and serve immediately for maximum enjoyment.
