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!

Description

Chocolate Almond Butter Oatmeal Cups: an easy 4 ingredient recipe for no bake oatmeal cups with almond butter & chocolate topping! A quick & easy healthy snack that’s delicious!

Ingredients

Scale

No Bake Oatmeal Cups

1 cup natural, unsalted creamy almond butter
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 ¾ cups gluten free rolled oats

Chocolate Topping

½ cup vegan chocolate chips or refined sugar free paleo chocolate
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted, natural creamy almond butter

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

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.
