Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

½ cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, your choice)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or your favorite)

¼ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or apricots, chopped)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and resemble a thick, sticky dough.

    Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and dried fruit of your choice. Ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

      Shape the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, press the mixture evenly into each muffin cup. Make sure to press down firmly to form a solid base, creating a small well in the center of each cup for added filling later.

        Chill and Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and allow the oat cups to chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the cups from the muffin tin by gently lifting the liners. You can add additional toppings like a drizzle of melted chocolate or fresh banana slices in the centers.

            Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. These oat cups are perfect for a quick snack or breakfast on-the-go!
