NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS:
Peanut Butter: Good source of protein, which helps build and repair muscles and keeps you feeling satisfied
Coconut Oil: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can provide quick energy and support brain health.
Protein Powder: Great source of protein, which helps build and repair muscles and keeps you feeling satisfied
Ingredients:
Bottom Layer (Chocolate):
2.5 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Top Layer (Peanut Butter):
1/3 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Himalayan sea salt
Instructions:
Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners (we prefer silicone) and spray them with coconut oil cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the bottom layer until smooth. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the top layer (peanut butter) until smooth. Set aside.
Scoop a heaping 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate layer into each muffin cup. Repeat until all 12 cups are filled. Tap the muffin tin gently to even out the layer.
Repeat the same process with the peanut butter layer, adding a heaping 1/2 tablespoon on top of the chocolate layer in each cup. Tap the muffin tin again to even out the cups.
Sprinkle each cup with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the cups are firm.
Once firm, remove the peanut butter cups from the muffin tin and enjoy immediately. For later enjoyment, store the cups in an airtight container in the freezer.
Recipe Notes:
Ensure you're using an all-natural, drippy peanut butter for the best results.
