Did I tell you we were thinking of moving again? Erik and I’ve been talking about this for a good long while (I know, how long could it have been since we just moved in 2019?!?). But we’ll admit it, we are totally over the cold!!

I know, I know, we’re just in the middle/end of the summer right now and we should’ve been flying sky-high with this weather. But, we weren’t. Dang it! The hot weather comes with its own issues that we didn’t anticipate—ticks, humidity, mosquitos and other such things.

And now that the winter is coming very soon… well, we’re looking into doing something about it—uh, next year, of course. With things the way they’ve been, we’ve decided to not move until next year.

But we’re thinking somewhere hot, somewhere without any sign of winter, and we’re thinking of somewhere with a bit of space.

So… Palm Springs? Phoenix? Santa Fe? Maybe even Nevada. What do you think?

While I wait to hear your thoughts, we’re gonna get into today’s most delightful, most delicious & easy recipe… 4 ingredient chocolate almond butter oatmeal cups!

Vegan Chocolate Chips or Paleo Chocolate Chunks – two of the best chocolate chip options out there for vegan + healthy baking. If you haven’t tried the paleo chocolate chunks, definitely give them a try. They’re refined sugar-free, paleo and oh-so delicious!
Silicone Large & Mini Cup Pan Set – I used the large cup pan in this super easy to use set. Sometimes, I use the mini pan so I can make smaller portions for quick snacking.
Don’t forget the… Gluten Free Rolled Oats and Unsalted Natural Creamy Almond Butter!

So where do you think we should move next? I’m all ears! (Yep, I totally just got that visual of people throwing ears—thank the Robin Hood, Men in Tights for that one.)

Equipment

Ingredients

No Bake Oatmeal Cups

▢ 1 cup almond butter
▢ 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
▢ 1 ¾ cups gluten free rolled oats

Chocolate Topping

▢ ½ cup vegan chocolate chips or refined sugar free paleo chocolate
▢ 5 tablespoons almond butter

Instructions

Lay two 12-cup silicone baking pans on two medium baking sheets. This is the pan I use—it has narrower cups, which make for thicker oat cups. I highly recommend using this pan versus a regular metal 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 just a bit (about 3-6 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. Set aside.
Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate or the following: add Chocolate Topping ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl (chocolate chips and almond butter). Heat in 20-second increments until just melted. Stir in between heating increments until smooth.
Spoon chocolate topping evenly over almond butter cups. Tap the pan to smooth chocolate topping into an even layer.
Chill in the freezer for 15-25 mins, until firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes

*Stovetop Instructions: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add almond butter and maple syrup. Whisk until well incorporated. Stir occasionally, heating until this mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and carefully pour over the oats.

Freezing Instructions: Store in freezer-friendly container for 1-2 months. Allow to thaw at room temperature for 5-15 minutes before enjoying.
