Servings: cups
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1/2 cup (130 gr) smooth peanut butter
- 1/3 cup (30 gr) almond flour
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp salt
Chocolate Coating
- 7 oz (200 gr) dark chocolate
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners. If you don't have a muffin pan, you can place the paper liners on a baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, almond flour, maple syrup, and salt until well incorporated and a dough forms. Add more almond flour if the mixture is still too loose.
- Scoop a tablespoon of the filling and shape into a ball. Flatten with your hands into a patty with a diameter just slightly smaller than the base of your paper liners. Continue until the filling is all used.
- Melt together dark chocolate and coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each cup and spread it to cover the base.
- Place the peanut butter patties into the center of each liner. Cover the cups with another spoonful of chocolate. Tap the pan to level out.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until completely set. Sprinkle with sea salt if preferred. Peel back the paper liners and enjoy!
