When it’s too hot to bake, make my speedy No-Bake Nutty Cups!
We’ve had a few lovely weeks of hot weather here in Ireland, and while I’m absolutely not complaining, there are some days when the kitchen is simply too hot to turn the oven on!
And honestly, when the weather is this good, I want to be outside enjoying every minute of it rather than spending the day in the kitchen.
That’s exactly where these No-Bake Nutty Cups come in. They’re quick, easy, seriously tasty and made with just a handful of quality ingredients. No oven required, minimal effort and they’re ready to keep in the fridge whenever you fancy something sweet.
A quick and easy high-protein snack
These little cups are the perfect thing to have in the fridge for when you need a quick snack. They’re packed with protein and healthy fats from the nuts and nut butter, making them a much more satisfying option than reaching for a shop-bought treat.
They’re also delicious with a cup of coffee or tea — basically my idea of the perfect afternoon pick-me-up! ☕️
