Chocolate. Peanut butter. What's not to love?!
This vegan version of a Reese's peanut butter cup is made from whole foods: real peanut butter and maple syrup covered in vegan chocolate.
And with a sneaky serving of plant-based protein these are basically like peanut butter protein cups. But they taste exactly like a Reese's cup.
Reese's peanut butter cups have a creamy peanut butter filling and a chocolate coating. This recipe has the same.
A combination of creamy peanut butter and peanut powder creates the perfect texture that isn't too dry or too runny. It's not like most homemade peanut butter cup recipes which often just use peanut butter.
Step 1. Line a mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners.
Step 2. Whisk together the peanut butter, peanut powder, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Step 3. Roll the peanut butter mixture into 24 half-tablespoon sized discs.
Step 4. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is smooth.
Step 5. Measure a tablespoon of chocolate into a muffin cup. Press a peanut butter disc inside the chocolate and smooth the top, adding a drop of additional chocolate if necessary. Repeat with the remaining discs, filling the muffin tin.
Step 6. Freeze for 15-20 minutes, until solid. Serve and enjoy!
Use almond butter or another nut butter instead.
The best sub for peanut powder is almond flour.
Store these pb cups in the refrigerator or freezer. Avoid leaving the bars on the counter for too long to prevent melted chocolate.
These cups will last for several weeks in the fridge and several months in the freezer.
Thank you God for these delicious treats. We are grateful to celebrate Halloween and nourish our bodies. Amen.
