Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Is it too late to say that? Or should I stick to Happy Valentine’s Day Weekend!! There, that’s better. 🙂 I never seem to know when precisely folks are celebrating holidays when it comes to holidays that occur during the week. Like, last Halloween, I was all like, everyone’s gonna celebrate the Saturday after it…but of course, it all happened the weekend before.

Sigh. J/k! Not to worry, I’m out of the loop on some things, but not when it comes to dessert, m’kay? So whether you’re celebrating this lovely holiday today, or you already did so eons ago (um… last weekend), I’ve got you covered.

Last minute V-day ideas? Check! Here ya go: Best Vegan Brownies or Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies, if you’re so inclined. My delicious, super easy 2 Ingredient Easy Keto Fudge Recipe. Or, perhaps the reader-fave, Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies? And yes, these totally also work if you’re just, ya know, regular baking this weekend instead of doing the holiday thang.

As for today, I thought I’d share an in-between recipe—it’s got chocolate, it’s got sweet tooth satisfaction, but it’s also got easy, no bake treat, on-the-go snack vibes. Check it out…

Description

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups (GF): an easy, 4 ingredient recipe for chocolate PB oatmeal cups! A delicious on-the-go snack that’s packed with healthy ingredients & protein-rich YUM.

---

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups

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

Vegan Chocolate Topping

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

---

Instructions

1. Lay a large or mini silicone baking pan on a medium baking sheet. These are the pans I use—they have narrower cups, which make for thicker oat cups. I highly recommend these pans, as it’s much easier to remove the oat cups. Set aside for later.
2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until well mixed.
3. 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.
4. Add oats to the peanut butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold until thoroughly combined.
5. Using a small or 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. Use extra dough in another pan, or make thicker cups.
6. Make the Vegan Chocolate Topping: Use the double boiler method or do the following. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add Vegan Chocolate Topping ingredients. Heat in 20-second increments until softened and melted. Stir until smooth.
7. Pour this chocolate mixture over the cups. Tap the pan to smooth chocolate topping into an even layer.
8. Chill in the freezer for 15-25 mins, until firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
