Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, chopped peanuts (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything until the mixture is evenly coated and holds together when pressed.
Fill Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each cup. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to form a compact, solid base for each granola cup.
Prepare Chocolate Topping: If adding chocolate, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Spoon a small amount of the melted chocolate over each granola cup and spread evenly to cover the tops.
Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the granola cups are firm and set.
Serve and Store: Once set, remove the granola cups from the muffin tin. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and enjoy as a quick snack or breakfast.
