Description
A delicious and nutritious twist on traditional peanut butter cups using natural ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% or sugar-free)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Add the coconut flour gradually, folding it into the mixture until a thick dough forms.
- Shape the dough into balls, rolling about one tablespoon at a time, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the tray in the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Set the chocolate by refrigerating for about 30 minutes or freezing for 10 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
For a variation, try rolling the balls in crushed nuts or shredded coconut after dipping in chocolate.
