High Protein Peanut Butter Cups

About This Recipe

Fix your candy craving with these High Protein Peanut Butter Cups! All the satisfaction of the real thing without destroying your diet.

Ingredients

• ½ Cup Peanut Butter
• 2 Tablespoons Syrup (Sugar Free, Honey, or Maple)
• 1 Ounce Milk (or Milk Substitute (Almond, Coconut, Cashew))
• 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 Scoops Protein Powder
• ½ Teaspoon Salt (*Optional for topping and if you used unsalted Peanut Butter)
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour (*Optional if your mix is too wet)
• ¼ Cup Chocolate Chips (Your choice (I like dark!))

Instructions

1. Add all your ingredients into a mixing bowl aside from your Chocolate Chips
2. Mix everything together until combined, it should end up "gritty" and not completely smooth (think sand texture)
3. If it's too wet/smooth, add in your optional Coconut Flour
4. Place 8 Silicone Cups (preferred for easy peel) or Paper Cup Liners onto a baking sheet
5. Evenly distribute your mix into them and use your hands to compact your mix into the bottom of each one until it's flat
6. Melt your Chocolate Chips on the stovetop or in the microwave (fastest) using :30 second intervals, mixing, and repeating until melted
7. Add around 1/2 of a tablespoon of your melted chocolate to the top of each one and use the bottom of that tablespoon to "smooth" out that layer
8. Top with optional Flaky Salt or anything else you want
9. Put them into the fridge or freezer (preferred) for around 30 minutes so that your chocolate can harden
