Finally, a nut butter cup that’s purely nuts. It may sound crazy, but cutting out the chocolate is far from foolish. You now have direct access to the buttery-soft center without it being smothered by an overly sweet shell. Besides, it makes perfect sense to put peanut butter on a pedestal – it’s the superstar of all things savory.

Peanut Butter Cup Recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or peanut butter would work best)
1 Tbsp. coconut flour
4 Tbsp. almond milk
1 dropperful of liquid stevia

Directions

  1. Prepare a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together and stir until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  3. Pour mixture into paper liners, filling each about half-way (or as thick as you’d like your peanut butter cups).
  4. Set in freezer to harden. Or…if you can’t wait that long, just go for it right then and there!
