You can never have too many grab n’ go snacks – especially when chocolate and peanut butter are involved. These vegan peanut butter granola cups are a perfect grab n’ go breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Roll the dough into little balls, and push into a lined or lightly-oiled mini-muffin tin. You can use a regular sized tin as well, they just will be bigger.
Coat the top of the cups with the remaining melted chocolate and refrigerate for about an hour. Serve cold.
Notes
Variations:
Vanilla: Just a little vanilla helps to make these chocolate peanut butter granola cups into even more of a dessert treat.
PBJ cups: To make PBJ-inspired no-bake oatmeal cups, when you press the oatmeal mixture into the muffin tin, use your thumb to make an indent in each cup and fill with a teaspoon or so of your favorite jam/jelly (raspberry, grape, strawberry, etc.). Then pour the melted chocolate over that and set.
Seeds: You can grind some seeds like pumpkin/sunflower seeds to mix into the oatmeal mixture for extra nutrients.
Breakfast granola cups: Press the peanut butter oatmeal mixture into a regular muffin tin, building it up the sides, so it’s a thin ‘bowl’/cup,’ then add a thin layer of the chocolate to the top. The ‘cup’ could then be filled with your favorite dairy-free yogurt and fruit’ blueberries, banana, etc. For more of a complete breakfast. Dip your fingers in water when shaping them if they’re very sticky.
Nut-free granola cups: You could try sunflower seed butter.
