Directions

Step 1

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone muffin molds.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the gluten-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond butter, maple syrup, and sea salt until smooth.

Step 7

Divide the almond butter mixture evenly among the chocolate-lined muffin cups, about 1 tablespoon per cup, smoothing the top with a spoon.

Step 8

Pour the reserved melted chocolate over the almond butter layer, spreading it evenly to fully cover.

Step 9

Sprinkle with optional toppings like chopped nuts or shredded coconut, if desired.

Step 10

Return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.

Step 11

Once set, remove the cups from the tin and enjoy!
