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
Directions
Step 1
Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners and set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Top the almond butter layer with another teaspoon of melted chocolate, ensuring it fully covers the filling and smooths out at the top.
Step 7
Place the tray back into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the almond butter cups are fully set.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade almond butter cups!
