Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 120 grams Almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 12 pieces Mini cupcake liners
Instructions
Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, until smooth and fully melted.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate slightly up the sides of the liner. Place the tin in the freezer for about 5 minutes to set.
While the chocolate is setting, prepare the almond butter filling. In a small bowl, mix the almond butter, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.
Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the almond butter mixture into the center of each chocolate-lined cup, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon.
Top the almond butter layer with another teaspoon of melted chocolate, ensuring it fully covers the filling and smooths out at the top.
Place the tray back into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the almond butter cups are fully set.
Once set, remove the almond butter cups from the liners and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage.
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade almond butter cups!
