Ingredients for Oatmeal Cocoa Cups
Here’s what you need to make these tasty cups:
Oats: Rolled oats are best for texture, but quick oats can also work.
Cocoa powder: Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor without extra sugar.
Peanut butter: Provides creaminess and helps hold the cups together. You can use almond butter or sunflower seed butter as a substitute.
Honey or maple syrup: Adds natural sweetness. Choose honey for a thicker consistency or maple syrup if you prefer a vegan option.
Vanilla extract: Adds depth of flavor.
Salt: A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the cocoa flavor.
Optional mix-ins: Chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for extra flavor.
Ingredient Notes
Peanut Butter: Natural peanut butter works well, but you can use any nut or seed butter you prefer. Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives.
Sweetener: Honey adds a mild sweetness, while maple syrup offers a deeper, caramel-like flavor. Choose whichever suits your taste and dietary preference.
