    Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Mousse Oat Cups

    These Vegan and Gluten-free Chocolate Mousse Oat Cups are a delicious and incredibly healthy treat! Oats, almonds, tofu, chocolate and cocoa powder are some of the ingredients that make them so rich and chocolatey!

    I don’t know about you but I’m not a big fun of those recipes that require much planning and cooking in advance. I need simple and quick recipes that, if possible, can be ready in less than an hour. So, if you are anything like me, you are going to love this recipe.

    Easy Vegan Chocolate Mousse Oat Cups

    How to make baked oat cups

    Since the butter is ready in a few minutes, I first heat the oven. Set it to 300°F.  Then you can either spray a 12-cup regular muffin pan with cooking spray or line with baking cups. Note that I used a slightly smaller muffin pan this time, so you may get 8 cups instead of the 9 with the same amount of batter.

    Place the ingredients for the oat cups in a food processor and process until the almonds resemble the mixture resembles coarse sand.

    Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or just until set. Let cool down on a wire rack.

    How to make vegan mousse

    Start by breaking the chocolate into the bowl and melt it using your favorite method. I usually melt it in the microwave, as I explain you bellow. Then, set aside to cool slightly.

    Add the remaining ingredients into a food processor or blender and pulse for a few seconds. Scrape down the sides with a spatula, then pulse again to combine.

    Pour in the cooled chocolate, then pulse a final time until creamy and smooth.
