High Protein Peanut Butter Cups

| HIGH PROTEIN PEANUT BUTTER CUPS |

From the ebook, "Top 100 High Protein Vegan Recipes". This is by far my favourite treat everrrrr. It was actually one of the first recipes I decided *had* to be in the ebook. It's creamy, nutty, a little bit sweet, and at 157 cals and 9g protein per serving, it just fits so well into my daily nutrition. The only problem with this recipe is that I have a hard time not eating them all in one day.

 

Recipe makes 6 servings

Macros per serving:

157 cals - 9g fat - 10g carbs - 9g protein

 

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup vegan chocolate, melted
• 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp peanut butter powder
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp regular peanut butter
• 2 scoops vanilla protein (25g)
• 1/4 tsp salt

 

Recipe:

Melt the chocolate over a double broiler or in the microwave gently. Stir often so it doesn’t burn.

Using muffin liners pour 1 tbsp chocolate into each liner and gently tilt the liner around in circles so the chocolate creeps up the sides. You should have the bottom and sides of the cup formed in chocolate.

Set the chocolate liners in the freezer to firm.

To a small mixing bowl add: peanut butter powder & water. Mix until you have a runny peanut butter.

Add in regular peanut butter, vanilla protein, and salt. Mix forming a dough. You may need to add a bit more water to get a dough consistency. Do this 1 tbsp at a time until you reach a dough you can roll.

Divide the batter into 6 and roll them into balls.

Remove the chocolate liners from the freezer and add a dough ball to each, pressing down so they’re flat.

Cover them with the remaining chocolate from edge to edge.

Place back in the freezer to firm.

Keep peanut butter cups in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.

Enjoy!
