Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until a smooth dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted and smooth.
- Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with cupcake liners. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mold, spreading it evenly to coat the base.
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls and gently press one into each chocolate-lined mold.
- Spoon more melted chocolate over the top of the cookie dough, ensuring it’s fully covered. Tap the tin gently to smooth out the chocolate layer.
- Refrigerate the cups for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Pop the cups out of the molds and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
If your cookie dough seems too dry, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up. If it’s too sticky, a little extra almond flour should do the trick. Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing.
