Healthy Peanut Butter Cup Recipe
Okay, now let’s get right into this delicious recipe you are going to absolutely love!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 12 muffin liners
- ¼ cup / 60 g semisweet (or dark) chocolate chips
- 2 scoops of Chocolate Shakeology
- 1 Tbsp. psyllium husk powder
- ½ cup / 125 g 100% pumpkin puree
- 6 tsp. All-natural smooth peanut butter, divided use
How to Make Your New Favorite Snack
- Preparation: Start by preparing 12 mini muffin cups with liners to ensure a mess-free process.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container and gently melt them using 50% power. This should take around 30 to 75 seconds, but be careful not to overcook. Once melted, set aside for later.
- Make the Dough: Combine the Chocolate Shakeology, psyllium husk, and pumpkin puree in a food processor. Pulse until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
- Form the Cups: Divide the dough into 12 portions, rolling each into a small ball. Place these balls into the muffin cups and press down to form flat disks with a small depression in the center. Spoon a half teaspoon of peanut butter into each depression.
- Add the Chocolate: Drizzle the previously melted chocolate over each cup, ensuring a thin, even layer on top.
- Freeze and Enjoy: Freeze the cups for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. They’re now ready to serve! These can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. If frozen, let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying.
