Nutbutter Cups
(adapted from this recipe from Wellness Mama)
Ingredients
1 bag chocolate chips (I used the same kind she recommends and I loved them...soy-, gluten-, and dairy-free--so smooth!)
1 c. almond butter (or 2 cups of almonds, soaked over night, rinsed and dried, fed through your choice of grinder)
½ c. cashew butter (or 1 cup of cashews, fed through your grinder)
½ c. unsweetened shredded coconut
3 T coconut oil
2 T agave
pinch of sea salt
1 t. vanilla
Directions
- Combine your nut butters, coconut, coconut oil, agave, salt, and vanilla and mix until well blended.
- Melt down the chocolate chips in a microwave safe ceramic bowl (who has time for a double boiler?) 30 seconds to a minute at a time, stiring between.
- Pour enough chocolate into baking cups (I used paper and silicone) to cover the bottom of the cup and stick in freezer for a few minutes to stiffen. It doesn't need to be perfectly hard.
- While the chocolate is setting, shape spoonfuls of the nutbutter filling into flat circles about 3/4 the size of your cups. Remove the chocolate cups from the freezer and place a filling disc into each cup. You can sort of push it into the chocolate, but be sure you don't push it through all the way.
- Set in freezer for another couple minutes and remove.
- Pour the remainder of the chocolate on top, covering the sides and smoothing over the top to seal around the filling.
- Place back in the freezer to harden.
