Ingredients for Almond Joy Oat Cups
- Oats - I use gluten free old fashioned oats but you can use whatever plain oats you have on hand.
- Almond butter - I like to use almond butter since these are almond joy oat cups but you could substitute it with peanut butter for a slightly different taste.
- Coconut flakes - I use unsweetened coconut flakes so these oat cups aren’t overly sweet.
- Honey - The sweetener in this recipe is honey. You can substitute the honey with maple syrup if preferred.
- Chocolate - I use dairy free semi-sweet chocolate.
- Coconut oil - the coconut oil hardens in the freezer creating a chocolate coconut layer on top.
- Sliced almonds - these are optional but add texture and additional almond flavor to the oat cups.
How To Make Almond Joy Oat Cups
Mix together the ingredients for the coconut oat layer. Then divide the oat mixture into 12 muffin cups (I prefer to use this silicone muffin tray). Press down with your fingers or a spoon for an even oat layer.
Next, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 15 seconds and stir. Continue to heat in intervals until the chocolate and oil have melted.
Spoon the chocolate over the coconut oat layer and sprinkle sliced almonds and coconut flakes on top. Freeze for 20 minutes or until the chocolate is hardened.
Storage
Store oat cups in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to keep them in the freezer for a quick easy snack.
