Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and maple syrup and mix vigorously until smooth and well-blended, around 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the old-fashioned rolled oats to the mixture and stir gently until all oats are coated, around 2-3 minutes.
  3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the oat mixture into each cavity of a silicone mold and press firmly to form well-shaped cups.
  4. Add a dollop of additional peanut butter on top of each cup.
  5. Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to set for about 20 minutes.
  6. Melt the chocolate chips with a teaspoon of vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cup and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  8. Return the drizzled cups to the freezer for another 20 minutes to harden the chocolate.
  9. Gently remove the cups from the molds and serve.
