Chocolate Almond Butter Oat Cups

These chocolate almond butter oat cups make a healthy snack or dessert!


Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time1 hour 20 minutes
Yield10 oat cups

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 c oats
  • 1/4 c almonds
  • 3/4 c + 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted and divided)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 1/4 c creamy almond butter (well-stirred)
  • 1/2 c cocoa powder

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place 10 cupcake liners inside of a cupcake pan. Set aside.
  • Use a food processor to blend the oats and almonds together until it’s reduced to a coarse cereal.
  • Add in the cinnamon, 2 tbsp coconut oil, and maple syrup. Pulse again until mixed. The cereal will be loose and won’t stick together entirely. That’s ok.
  • Press 1 tbsp of the oat base into each cupcake liner. Use a spoon or your fingers to make sure it’s spread flat and packed together tightly both on the bottom of the cup, and up the sides.
  • Drizzle about 1 tsp of almond butter into each cup. Spread it so it’s an even layer.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 c coconut oil and cocoa powder. Spoon about 1 tbsp of this chocolate sauce over each cup. Spread it so it’s an even layer.
  • Pop the cupcake pan in the fridge and chill for about 1 hour.
  • Store these oat cups in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for about one week.
