Almond Butter Cups

Almond Butter Cups
Prep 10 min Cook 1 hr Serves 12 Source

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (more or less to taste)
  • 2-4 tablespoons natural sweetener (I like agave or maple syrup – more or less to taste)
  • pinch of salt
  • roughly 3/4 cup of almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • sea salt for topping

Steps

  1. 1

    Whisk the coconut oil, cocoa powder, sweetener, and a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Fill a regular size muffin tin with paper liners. Pour a small amount of the cocoa mixture (1-2 tablespoons) into the paper cups. Drop a small spoonful of the almond butter (2-3 teaspoons) into the center of each cup. Divide remaining chocolate amongst the cups.

  3. 3

    If almond butter is sticking up, just gently press it down so each cup has a smooth top layer. Sprinkle each almond butter cup with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Freeze for one hour or until solid. YUM TOWN.
