Description

These healthy almond butter cups are made with dark chocolate, creamy all-natural almond butter, pure maple syrup, and finished with a touch flaky sea salt. They are incredibly easy to make and the perfect sweet, yet healthier treat to enjoy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz dark chocolate 
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil 
  • ½ cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • Flaky sea salt for topping


Instructions

  1. Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and then stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds more and then stir. Repeat until the chocolate is fully melted.

  3. Pour around 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of the muffin liners. Place the muffin tin in the fridge or freezer for 5-10 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
