Ingredients

  • 10 oz semi sweet dairy free chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 5 teaspoons coconut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Flaked sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium sized sauce pan
  • Turn heat on low or medium, and heat until melted, stirring frequently to avoid burning
  • Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract
  • Line a muffin tin with 12 parchment paper muffin cups
  • Add 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture to the bottom of each muffin cup
  • Once finished, shake the pan down to make sure chocolate lays flat in each cup
  • Place muffin tin in freezer for 10 - 15 minutes, until chocolate hardens
  • While chocolate is hardening, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut flour, and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt. Use a fork or your hands to combine (the mixture should be dry enough to not stick to your hands)
  • Once chocolate hardens, distribute almond butter mixture evenly into each of the 12 tins, and use your hands to flatten it down
  • Pour remaining chocolate over the tops, around 1 ½ - 2 teaspoons per cup, until all of your chocolate is used up
  • Sprinkle tops generously with flaked sea salt
  • Place tin back in freezer for around 15 minutes, or until chocolate is hardened
  • Store the almond butter cups in the fridge or freezer
