No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cups are the perfect grab and go snack or lunch box treat! Made with just a few simple ingredients, these oatmeal cups are delicious, chewy, creamy and crunchy at the same time.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter-melted
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups quick cooking or instant oats
- 7 oz. semi-sweet chocolate- chopped
- 2/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup salted peanuts- chopped
Instructions
- Grease cupcake pan with oil or non-stick spray, set aside. If you have silicone muffin pan you can use it to easily pop out the cups.
- In a microwave-safe bowl stir melted butter, sugar and vanilla until sugar dissolves. Then stir in instant oats. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir again.
- Press 2 Tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each cup.
- Melt chopped chocolate and peanut butter, stir well until smooth. Then stir in chopped peanuts.
- Spoon chocolate mixture over the bottom (oat) layer and spread evenly. Top with the remaining oats mixture and press down gently.
- Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight.
- Run a thin knife around each oatmeal cup to remove it easier. If they are too stick to the pan, leave them 10 minutes at room temperature, then run a knife around each cup, remove and transfer into air-tight container.
- Stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze up to 3 months and thaw overnight before serving.

Microwave… Really? I wouldn’t even own one. Is there another way?
you can always do it on the stove!
Man, this looks great but this must be very high in sugar. An average adult recommended sugar intake is 25-30 grams a day.
If you make one with less sugar I would love to see it! I am always looking for it!
Just…….. add less sugar
Delicious! Perfect to have on hand!

Hi this recipe looks soo good. I was wondering how much does this recipe makes.I need to make 12 cups wanted to know if I need to double up .Anxious to make it
Hi Leola, this recipe makes 12 cups.
I made these today and decided to make 30 mini’s instead. They were easy and are just cooling now.
Is t here a way to make these with out nuts and peanut butter? My family has a lot of food allergies and nuts are one of them. Thes look sooo good!
Or use part real sugar and part sugar substitute like Splenda or Stevia. Or go wild and use 100% sugar substitute!!
Hi Vera, I go to a Country Music Fest with 4 other couples every year and we’re always looking for something different to bring. This year I will be bringing your Oatmeal cups. I’ve had the bars before and love them. Love the individual cup idea!
