Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 5 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 dash salt
  • 2/3 cup almond butter or nut butter of choice
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 dash salt

Method
 

  1. Place 12 muffin liners in a muffin tin.
  2. Heat the coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt over medium-low heat until totally melted and combined.
  3. Add about 1 1/2 Tbsp of the chocolate sauce to each liner. Then, place in the fridge and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. While the chocolate layer is cooling, prepare the filling. Simply combine the almond butter and maple syrup in a medium bowl and mix well.
  5. By now, the chocolate layer should be cooled. Remove from fridge, and add about 1 Tbsp of almond butter mixture to each cup. Gently spread it around the cup if necessary.
  6. Add the remaining chocolate on top of the almond butter (about 1 Tbsp each) until all of the chocolate is used up.
