Let’s Make it Together

Melt the Chocolate: Begin by melting your dark chocolate chips gently in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy.

Mix the Base Ingredients: In another bowl, combine natural peanut butter and maple syrup until well blended. You want it creamy but not too runny.

Add Oats and Coconut Oil: Stir in rolled oats and melted coconut oil into the peanut butter blend until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick yet sticky.

Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease lightly with coconut oil to ensure easy removal later.

Scoop and Fill: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, fill each liner halfway with your chocolate mix, then top with generous dollops of the peanut butter mixture.

Top with More Chocolate: Drizzle additional melted chocolate over each cup before placing them into the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes until firm.

These delightful Chocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast Cups will quickly become a beloved staple. Enjoy their rich flavors that make every bite worth savoring!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by melting the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, then coat muffin liners with half of it. While that cools, mix the filling and prepare for the fun part: assembly!
