Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Caramel Delite Oat Cups featuring layers of melted chocolate, quick-cooking oats, creamy cookie butter, and a coconut-cashew butter mixture. These no-bake oat cups are perfect for a sweet snack or dessert and are set in the freezer for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • Remaining chocolate from the chocolate layer (for drizzling)

Oat Layer

  • 1.5 cups quick-cooking oats
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup cookie butter (melted)
  • 1-2 teaspoons water (as needed)

Coconut Layer

  • ⅓ cup creamy cashew butter (drippy)
  • ⅓ cup cookie butter (melted)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a metal muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicone muffin pan (no need to line it if silicone).
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Form Chocolate Base: Scoop 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin cup and spread evenly using the end of a spoon or a finger.
  4. Make Oat Layer: In a bowl, mix quick-cooking oats, maple syrup, and melted cookie butter. If dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of oat mixture over the chocolate and firmly press down. Freeze the muffin pan for 5 minutes to set this layer.
  5. Prepare Coconut Layer: Combine creamy cashew butter, melted cookie butter, and shredded coconut in a bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon of this mixture evenly over the oat layer in each cup.
  6. Decorate with Chocolate: Transfer the remaining melted chocolate into a piping or plastic bag. Snip the tip and drizzle the chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the coconut layer, mimicking the look of caramel delight.
  7. Freeze to Set: Place the muffin pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour until fully set.
  8. Store: Once set, remove oat cups from the pan and store them in a freezer bag inside the freezer for best freshness.

Notes

  • Using silicone muffin pans eliminates the need for liners and makes removal easier.
  • Adjust the water quantity in the oat layer to achieve the right consistency for pressing.
  • Store oat cups in the freezer and enjoy chilled for the best texture.
  • These oat cups are naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
