Did I totally shock you in the last post, Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola, about wanting to buy a house in the near future? Or were you there, kinda like… UM, gurl, it’s about time!!
Note that we were thinking all of this (and this was written) before things changed… anyway.
It’s just, Erik and I are trying to do things the super financially reasonable way because we’re still kinda working on the, let’s say, different levels of financial responsibility in the homes we grew up in. So we’re taking things nice and slow, and planning for the right time to buy a house. Ya know?
Do you ever feel pressure to move at society’s pace for what and when things “should” happen versus when they actually need to happen for you?
Obviously this has been something that’s been weighing on my mind a lot lately, and I just wanted to put it out there. Phew! It’s out there and it’s done. Lol. Let’s move onto something simpler, like these Simple & Easy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies (GF), or well, did someone say something about oatmeal cups? 😉

Can I Substitute the Almond Butter in this Easy Oatmeal Cups Recipe?
Yes! In fact, you can swap the almond butter for your favorite nut butter or seed butter. Try peanut butter, sunflower seed butter or cashew butter. Just make sure you like how that nut or seed butter tastes, or else your oatmeal cups won’t be enjoyable. 😉 Here is the peanut butter version: 3 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Cups (Healthy, Vegan, GF).

Description
Easy Oatmeal Cups with Almond Butter: this 3 ingredient no bake oatmeal cups recipe yields soft & chewy oatmeal cups—the perfect Quick ‘n Easy snack on-the-go! Vegan, Gluten Free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted creamy, natural almond butter
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 3/4 cups gluten free rolled oats
Instructions
- Lay a 12-cup silicone baking pan on a medium baking sheet. This is the pan I use—it has narrower cups, which make for thicker oat cups. I highly recommend this pan, as it’s much easier to remove the oat cups. Set aside for later.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add almond butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Heat in 20-second increments in the microwave until warm and fragrant, and the mixture begins to dry out (about 4-7 rounds). Whisk in between heating increments. *Stovetop instructions in Notes.
- Add oats to the almond butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold until thoroughly combined.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop balls of cookie dough into the cups of the baking pan. Using a spoon, press and flatten mixture until tops are smooth and dough is evenly distributed in the cup.
- Chill in the freezer for 15-25 minutes, until firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

So perfect for our afternoon snack. Great idea to use almond butter!
Thanks Catalina! 😊
Love all the chewy, chunky goodness in this recipe! Made the perfect afternoon snack! Hands down delicious!
Woohoo! I’m so happy to hear it Sara!
Was looking for simple easy snacks to make for the kids and these are perfect! They loved them!
Woohoo! That’s so awesome to hear Suzy! 😊
Hi Demeter! I made these using the Lakanto keto maple syrup that you have recommended for your keto recipes, and they were delicious! This is my first time making them and I was thrilled with how simple they were – like all your recipes! – and so satisfying! Thank you very much!
Hi Meg! I’m so happy to hear it!! 🙂 Love that you used the keto maple syrup for a lower sugar treat. 🙂 I’m so glad that you’re loving my easy recipes and finding them satisfying! Happy making!
This Easy Oatmeal Cups look incredibly delicious!
They’re seriously soo good! 🙂
This is just the type of snack I have been looking for. Evidently my kids need snack about every five minutes. I have everything I need so that’s a win!
LOL I can definitely relate to your kids! 😂 Can’t wait to hear what they think!
I just made these with Nuttzo (7 nut & seed butter). I didn’t have almond butter. To be extra I added melted enjoy life chocolate chips to the top after they were chilled. They turned out great! I’m a fan of salt, so I am thinking I would like to add finishing salt on top of the chocolate next time! Just an idea…
“To be extra” – lol!! Love it. Now’s the time to add a lil’ extraness into our days to brighten it up a bit, ya know? 🙂 The added chocolate and nut/seed butter combo sound incredible. I’ll try these with salt next time! Enjoy.
These cups look fantastic. I love how simple and easy this recipe is. I bet my kid would love to snack these. Can’t wait to give these a try.
Oh yes, these are so tasty and so much fun to make. Perfect for kids! 🙂
Since being at home, the kids have gotten more involved in the kitchen. Today we made this and it was delish! The kids and the adults loved it!!
Oh how fun! I’m so happy to hear that they were such a hit with the kiddos!
I made these today for my daughter who wants treats but is trying to eat healthier and they were amazing. I didn’t have almond butter so used natural peanut butter instead and they were great.
Aww how sweet of you! 😊 So glad they were a hit!
Hi how many carbs are in these.
Hi there! I just updated the recipe with nutrition info. Hope this helps!
I love how easy and healthy these little treats are. I made them into bars since I don’t have silicon baking cups.
Ooh love it! Happy you liked them Anita!
