5-Ingredient Oatmeal Caramel Cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 mashed banana
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 8 Medjool dates, pitted
- 50g dark chocolate, melted
Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats and mashed banana and peanut butter and mix until the oats are well-coated and the mixture is evenly combined
Line a muffin tray with paper liners
Press about 1-2 tablespoons of the oat mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a cup shape
Place pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and blend until a smooth, thick paste forms, adding a small amount of warm water one teaspoon at a time if needed to help blend smoothly
Spoon about a tablespoon of the date caramel into each oat cup, spreading it evenly
Drizzle or spoon melted dark chocolate over the top of each cup
Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate has set
Notes
Dates are a natural sweetener packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals, making these treats refined sugar free, delicious and nutritious
