Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 0.75 cup cacao powder
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by lining a muffin tin with silicone or paper baking cups.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat.
Step 3
Once the coconut oil is fully melted, remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the cacao powder until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mixture, whisking until completely blended and silky.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove, gently melt the almond butter until it's pourable, but not hot.
Step 6
Spoon about a tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into each lined muffin cup, spreading it to cover the bottom evenly.
Step 7
Add about a teaspoon of almond butter into the center of each chocolate layer, trying to keep it from touching the sides.
Step 8
If using, sprinkle some chopped nuts over the almond butter layer.
Step 9
Cover the almond butter with a final tablespoon of the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
Step 10
Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator or freezer to set. This should take about 30 minutes in the refrigerator or 15 minutes in the freezer.
Step 11
Once set, remove the chocolate cups from the tin and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
