Dreamy 3-Ingredient Almond Butter Cups
Almond butter cups: master this simple, no-bake recipe for a delicious sweet and salty treat. Perfect for quick cravings or dessert platters.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (more or less to taste)
- 2-4 tablespoons natural sweetener (I like agave or maple syrup – more or less to taste)
- pinch salt
- roughly 3/4 cup of almond butter (or any nut butter)
- sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Whisk the coconut oil, cocoa powder, sweetener, and a pinch of salt until well combined and smooth.
- Line a regular size muffin tin with paper liners. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of the cocoa mixture into each paper cup, covering the bottom. Drop 2-3 teaspoons of almond butter into the center of each cup. Divide the remaining chocolate mixture evenly amongst the cups, ensuring the almond butter is covered.
- If the almond butter is sticking up, gently press it down with the back of a spoon to create a smooth top layer for each cup. Sprinkle each almond butter cup with a pinch of coarse sea salt.
- Place the muffin tin in the freezer for one hour or until the cups are completely solid. Store in the refrigerator or freezer for best results. Enjoy!
