Description

These healthy, homemade peanut butter cups are a great way to get your chocolate fix!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • peanut butter*

Instructions

  1. In a small blender, blend together the cocoa powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup until it is creamy. If you don’t have a small blender, then you can whisk the ingredients together by hand. Just make sure you use a deep bowl so the cocoa powder doesn’t go everywhere and you whisk it very well.
  2. Put your paper liners on a cookie sheet.
  3. Using a teaspoon, drop 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into the cups.
  4. You can lift and drop the muffin tin on the counter to help the chocolate lay flat.
  5. Next, use a teaspoon or a 3/4 teaspoon to drop 3/4 teaspoon peanut butter on top of the chocolate. Finally, add an additional teaspoon of chocolate on top of the peanut butter.*
  6. Again, you can lift and drop the cookie sheet to help the chocolate lay flat. Or you can use your finger. 😉
  7. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harder.
  8. These need to be stored in the fridge or the freezer. Enjoy!

Notes

*I just scoop straight from the jar–who likes measuring peanut butter?! For mini cups, I used about 3/4 teaspoon peanut butter per cup. You need more if you’re using regular sized muffin cups.

** If you use a full-sized muffin tin, you will use more of the chocolate mixture and peanut butter for each cup, and you will get about 4 cups. If you use a mini-muffin tin, you’ll get about 9.
