Ingredients
  

Oat Cups:

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats (180 grams)
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds (26 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 medjool dates chopped
  • ¾ cup tahini (180 grams)
  • 6 tablespoon pure maple syrup (42 grams)

Chocolate Drizzle:

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips bittersweet or semi-sweet
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • pinch flakey sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium or large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and chopped Medjool dates. Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients. Ensure the dates are evenly distributed and coated with oats to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour the tahini and maple syrup into the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and the liquid is fully absorbed.
  • Form and Top the Oat Cups: Scoop the mixture into a muffin tin (see Note 1), filling each mold evenly. Use the back of a spatula or your fingers to press down and compact the mixture into each mold. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of tahini right into the bowl of melted chocolate and stir. Pour the melted dark chocolate mixture over the top of each oat cup. Spread the chocolate evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top. Optionally, add a pinch of oats for decoration.
  • Freeze and Serve: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set. Once the chocolate has hardened and the oat cups remain intact, remove from the muffin tin. Serve, or transfer to the fridge.

Notes

Note 1: Use a silicone muffin pan if you have one! It makes popping the maple tahini oat cups out much easier. If you don’t have one, I suggest lining the muffin tin with a muffin liner.
