Ingredients:
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup softened coconut oil
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (for caramel)
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for chocolate topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare silicone cupcake molds by greasing them lightly.
- In a bowl, combine oat flour and salt. Add coconut sugar, vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, and softened coconut oil. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.

- Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and press down the center of each cup to deepen the cup shape.
- Allow to cool completely in the molds.
- For the caramel, mix peanut butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until smooth. Fill each cooled cup with this caramel mixture.
- Place the filled cups in the fridge to set the caramel, about 1 hour.

- Refrigerate again until the chocolate is firm.
- Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt over the chocolate before it sets for an extra flavor boost.
