Ingredients

Scale

Granola Cups

  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Optional Toppings

  • Melted chocolate
  • Chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Granola Mixture: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and melted together, creating a sticky base.
  2. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt to enhance the flavor.
  3. Incorporate Oats and Chocolate Chips: Add rolled oats to the mixture and stir until all oats are well coated. If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips for an added chocolatey touch.
  4. Form the Granola Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Divide the granola mixture evenly among the lined cups, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon or fingers to shape the granola into cup forms that will hold the filling.
  5. Refrigerate the Cups: Place the formed granola cups in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  6. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  7. Fill the Granola Cups: Spoon or pipe the peanut butter filling into each chilled granola cup, filling them generously.
  8. Add Optional Toppings: Drizzle melted chocolate over the filled cups and sprinkle with chopped peanuts if desired for extra texture and flavor.
  9. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled granola cups for at least 1 hour or until the filling firms up.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy these no-bake peanut butter granola cups chilled as a satisfying snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Press the granola mixture firmly into the muffin liners to ensure the cups hold together well.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option, adjusting other ingredients as needed.
  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for a less sweet version.
  • Store the granola cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit chopped peanuts.
