At the heart of our High Protein Peanut Butter Oat Cups are rolled oats. This staple ingredient is not only versatile but also packed with nutritional benefits. Rolled oats are an excellent source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been shown to lower cholesterol levels and support heart health. They provide a slow release of energy, keeping you feeling fuller for longer and helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup natural creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)

1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners for easy removal.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt, mixing well to combine.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is well incorporated. If you’re adding chocolate chips and nuts, fold them into the mixture at this point.

          Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.

              Allow the oat cups to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
