These hearty Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cups make a filling breakfast or healthy snack that’s full of fiber and protein.

Last week I posted a photo on my Real Mom Nutrition Facebook page of my old, stained muffin pan straight from the oven and this: “My mess of a muffin tin has seen a lot of action over the years. Could try to get it clean, I suppose. Nah.” Luckily, the consensus seemed to be that my muffin pan was “well seasoned”, “well loved”, and had lots of “character”.

But other folks chimed in to ask: What were those yummy-looking muffins inside the pan?

They’re a riff on the Banana Oatmeal Cups from Green Light Bites–one of my favorite “muffins” to make.

I made them a bit more indulgent by adding natural peanut butter and maple syrup. They’re sweet and filling, full of fiber and protein. You can also tweak this recipe to your tastes, using less maple syrup and fewer chocolate chips to reduce the sugar.

(By the way, you’ll see nutrition information included with the recipe. I know not everyone wants or uses it, but I’ve decided to start including it for those who do.)

Enjoy!
