Healthy Peanut Butter Cups

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chilling Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Yield: 6 cups
These Healthy Peanut Butter Cups are an easy snack or dessert option. Being high in protein, they will keep you full and your body energized, while also satisfying your sweet cravings.

Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips, melted, for topping
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Get a cupcake tin and line 6 cups with cupcake holders (you can also use a silicon mold)
  • Mix the peanut butter powder with almond milk until you get a perfect peanut butter consistency.
    You may want to add more almond milk/peanut butter powder to get it to your desired thickness, I like the ratio above so that it is still a little thick.
  • Store the peanut butter filling in the fridge for 30 minutes
  • Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together
  • Pour about 1-2 tbsp of the chocolate into the muffin liners or mold. Make sure it is covering the entire bottom
  • Chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes
  • Scoop about 1 tbsp of the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate
  • Pour over the remaining chocolate until the peanut butter is covered
  • Top with flakey sea salt
  • Put the Healthy Peanut Butter Cups back into the freezer for about 30-45 minutes or until the chocolate is fully hardened
  • Remove from the freezer, take out of the liners/mold when ready to eat
  • Enjoy!
