Ingredients You’ll Need

This PCOS dessert recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. 

To make it, you’ll need:

• Peanut butter – this classic pantry staple provides ample amounts of healthy fats, antioxidants, and magnesium

• Maple syrup – this adds some natural sweetness and flavor dimension to the recipe

• Oats – I used rolled oats and blended them into an oat flour in a high speed blender. You could also use a food processor to blend your oats into a flour, or even purchase a premade oat flour. Oats offer fiber and prebiotics for gut health

• Dark chocolate chips – need I say more? These are my favorite dark chocolate chips to use in these types of recipes since they have 5 grams of fiber and no added sugar

• Coconut oil – this is an optional addition but I find it helps the chocolate melt into a creamier mixture

How To Make Them

This recipe is so simple to make and comes together in a few simple steps. 

First, you’re going to make your oat flour if you’re not using a premade flour option. All you’re going to do is pour the rolled oats into a blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes, frequently stopping to shake the blender up, until you get a fine oat flour mixture. Set aside.

Next, you’re going to combine the peanut butter and maple syrup in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, checking every 15 seconds or so and stirring, until the peanut butter is completely melted and well combined with the maple syrup. 

Add the mixture to a large bowl and slowly stir in the oat flour mixture. Once it’s combined, you’re going to divide it among 6 muffin tins with liners. Press the mixture down to make it have a flat top. 

Next, microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 30-60 seconds, stirring every 10-15 seconds. Pour mixture evenly over each peanut butter cup. 

Place the muffin tin into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow time for them to set. Enjoy!

How To Serve Them

You can enjoy these PCOS friendly peanut butter chocolate cups as a snack or dessert.

How To Store Them

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days after making.

Substitutions & Variations

• No peanut butter? Substitute any nut or seed butter like almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter
• Use premade oat flour instead of making your own
• Use milk chocolate chips or butterscotch instead of dark chocolate chips. Note: this will likely increase the added sugar content
• Decrease the amount of oat flour to ⅔ cup for more moist peanut butter cups
• Substitute honey or allulose for maple syrup
