“We belong we belong we belong we belong to-geeet-herrr…” — Chocolate and oats.
Clearly I’m a believer of this song as I’ve been putting chocolate and oats together like there’s no tomorrow.
Chocolate is smooth, oats are texture-ific, you got yourself a good combo.
And with this recipe I’ve created a shortcut, nay, wormhole to the chocolate+oat heavens.
No baking involved, it’s so easy you’ll have your “chocol-oat” treats faster than you can say chocol-oat… I actually do not know how one says this word that I just made up.
All I know is that, these cups were a huge hit in our house. Husband and kid could not share them.
Let me know how they’re received at yours!

Instructions
- In a bowl add coconut oil and microwave 30 sec to melt.
- Add maple, oats, salt and vanilla and stir to combine and coat all the oats. Press 2/3 of the mixture into 6 muffin cavities to make the bottom crust.
- In a bowl at pumpkin and chocolate and microwave 30 sec at a time and stir until all chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth like frosting.
- Divide this between the 6 cups and sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture on top, pressing the oats down gently to stick it all together.
