PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
These are not low fat, and peanut butter is not a great choice for your protein needs, but if your kids need a sweet treat, this may be a safer one to have around the house 🙂
· 1 cup natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter
· ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
· 1 ¾ cups oats
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until well mixed.
2. 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.
3. Add oats to the peanut butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold until thoroughly combined.
4. Scoop and drop balls of cookie dough into the cups of a mini 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.
5. Chill in the freezer for 15-25 mins, until firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
