Equipment
- Microwavable Bowl
- Mixing Bowl
- Muffin Tin
- Pastry Brush
- Measuring Cups 1/2 teaspoon, tablespoon, 1/2 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter I prefer salted and chunky
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut OR almond flour
- 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt to taste and top
Instructions
- Line 9 muffin tins with paper liners.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil in microwave in 30 second intervals to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Once melted use pastry brush (or spoon) to brush 1/3 way up the liners. Ensure the bottom of paper liner is covered with chocolate.
- Place in freezer until chocolate is hardened (about 10 minutes). While chocolate is hardening, make filling (see next step).
- Add peanut butter, maple syrup, and flour and mix well. Mixture should be firm and held together.
- Retrieve tin from freezer and spoon peanut butter filling over the chocolate. Gently press the filling down and smooth so it flattens against the bottom of the cupcake liner.
- Spoon the remaining chocolate over the peanut butter layer (may need to reheat chocolate). Top with salt to taste.
- Place cups back in freezer until firm (at least 1 hour).
- Store in fridge or freezer and enjoy!
