Ingredients

• 0.5 cup cacao powder
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cacao powder, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth to create the raw chocolate mixture.

Step 3

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into each liner, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.

Step 4

While the chocolate base sets, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, coconut flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined and slightly thickened.

Step 5

Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and add about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture on top of the hardened chocolate layer. Gently press it down to flatten slightly.

Step 6

Pour another teaspoon of the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, ensuring it’s fully covered.

Step 7

Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cup if desired for garnish.

Step 8

Return the muffin tin to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the cups are completely set.

Step 9

Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for up to two weeks.
