MAPLE ALMOND BUTTER CUP RECIPE
Ingredients
For the maple almond butter filling you’ll need:
- 1 cup almond butter (We found a way to get a FREE 16 oz jar of Justin's almond butter here!)
- scant 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Chocolate coating:
- 11 ounces dark chocolate
- Maldon salt, for topping
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips plus 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat.
- Pour a teaspoon of melted chocolate into mini muffin tin cups – greased lightly with coconut oil.
- While cups chill in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes, melt the almond butter, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, adding the honey and vanilla while stirring. Salt to taste. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of almond butter mixture into each muffin cup.
- Spoon the remaining chocolate on top of the almond butter layer and chill in the fridge until set, about 1/2 hour in the fridge or 10-15 minutes in the freezer. Enjoy!
