Equipment

  • 12-cup mini muffin pan
  • 12 mini paper liners
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Spoon or small spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup quick oats

For the Chocolate Shell:

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan

  • Line a 12-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.

Make the Peanut Butter Filling

  • In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and quick oats until smooth and evenly combined. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm the mixture slightly.

Melt the Chocolate

  • Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.

Build the Cups

  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner and spread it slightly up the sides. Add about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter filling to the center of each cup.

Cover with Chocolate

  • Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over each peanut butter center, making sure the filling is completely covered.

Chill

  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm. Carefully remove the cups from the liners before serving.

Notes

  • Only 5 Ingredients: Peanut butter, Greek yogurt, oats, chocolate chips, and coconut oil create an easy protein-packed treat.
  • No Baking Required: These homemade peanut butter cups set entirely in the refrigerator with zero oven time.
  • Protein Boost: Greek yogurt and peanut butter add protein while keeping the filling creamy and satisfying.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 days for an easy grab-and-go snack.
  • Freezer Friendly: Freeze the cups for up to 2 months and let them sit at room temperature for several minutes before eating.
