Pumpkin Almond Butter Oat Cups

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These pumpkin almond butter oat cups are like little bites of sweet fall heaven. They could not be any easier to make – or require fewer ingredients – yet they taste SO good! They “bake” in the freezer, so there’s no oven to worry about either. If you have a few minutes and these simple ingredients on hand, I highly recommend you give them a try! Everyone will love them and will ask for more. I hope you enjoy.

Freezer Time 2 hours

Ingredients

Oat Cups

  • 1 cup rolled, old fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup almond butter all natural & creamy - should be just 2 ingredients: almonds and salt!
  • 3 tbsp pumpkin purΓ©e
  • 2 tbsp honey can probably sub maple syrup if you don't have honey on hand!
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ΒΌ tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup mini ore regular dark chocolate chips optional - adds an extra chocolatey touch to each cup and a bit of a crunch!

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil If you don't have coconut oil, you can sub with another oil! The idea is just to add a touch of fat to help the chocolate melt and make it easy to drizzle!

Instructions

  • Pull out your muffin tin and grease well with oil. I like to use coconut oil spray. You may use a jumbo muffin tin and this recipe will make 4 oat cups or a regular muffin tin and this recipe will make 6 oat cups.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients together. Start with the following ingredients - almond butter, pumpkin, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt - to ensure the "wet batter" is thoroughly combined, and then add the rolled oats and chocolate chips last.
  • Evenly distribute your batter among the muffin tin wells and push down to form your oat cups.
  • Stick the tin in the freezer to set while you melt your chocolate. Add your chocolate chips and coconut oil to a glass measuring cup and melt in 25 second increments until totally melted/combined. Stir between melting sessions so the chocolate does not burn!
  • Pull your tin from the freezer and drizzle the chocolate liberally on each oat cup with a fork. You can also add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice or flakey sea salt on top. Return the oat cups to the freezer to set for 2 hours.
  • I personally like these oat cups straight from the freezer! Let them thaw for a few minutes (if you can!) and then dig in πŸ˜‰ You can also keep them in the fridge if you like, but I think the texture from the freezer is best. Continue to store leftover cups in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
