No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups (V, GF): easy, simple & delicious—a quick recipe for soft ‘n chewy peanut butter oatmeal cups that are No Bake! Healthy, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Dairy-Free, No Cook.

What’s your favorite easy recipe of all-time? Is it 3 ingredient no bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies? Is it these insanely easy 3 Ingredient Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs? Or 4 Ingredient Gluten Free Soft Peanut Butter Cookies? Perhaps it’s an easy no bake recipe from another website (ahhhhhhh!!! Gasp!!!)?

Whatever it is, all of those easy recipes have one thing in common—they’re made with very few ingredients (yes, I had to assume for your non-BB/traitor recipe. J/k!!), they’re quick & easy to make, and they’re convenient to snack on while you’re on-the-go.

So when I approached my month of January recipes, I made sure to create the easiest, fewest ingredient recipes for my no-bake jams. And by “jams” I mean recipe—why, oh why do I try to sound cool? It’s obviously futile. Lol. Back on point, I know how y’all absolutely love my 3 ingredient no bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies…

So I thought why not create a cups version? I tweaked the recipe a bit so it’d have a bit more moisture and less dry ingredients aka oats, so they’d be easier to scoop and mold. Et voilà: PB oatmeal cookie cups!

And, if you’re so inclined, you could totally press this no bake oatmeal peanut butter cookie dough into fun-shaped molds like hearts or dinosaurs to keep the kid in you happy. Er, I mean, to keep your kiddos happy! That’s right. That’s what I actually meant. Ahem.

Then, whisk together peanut butter and maple syrup until it’s thickened and well-incorporated.

Once the sweetened peanut butter mixture is nice and warm, add in the rolled oats.

Using a silicone spatula, stir and fold the oats into the sweet mixture.

This is what the no bake oatmeal cookie “dough” will look like once it’s done! (And yes, you *totally* have permission to eat it right out of the bowl.) 😉

Using a small cookie scoop, scoop and drop peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough into a mini cup pan. I like to lay the silicone pan onto a baking sheet so it’s easier to stick into the freezer for chilling later.

Next, grab a spoon and start flattening each of the cookie balls into a smooth, even layer. You can even skip this step if you don’t mind peanut butter oat balls instead of cookie cups.
