Here’s a delicious recipe for Keto Almond Butter Cups — a delightful low-carb treat that combines rich chocolate with creamy almond butter!

Servings: 12 cups
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • Chocolate Layer:
    • 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • Almond Butter Filling:
    • 1/2 cup almond butter (preferably unsweetened)
    • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or your favorite keto sweetener
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
  2. Mold the Chocolate: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Pour about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each liner, tilting the tin to coat the sides. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
  3. Make the Almond Butter Filling: In a small bowl, mix the almond butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth. Remove the muffin tin from the freezer.
  4. Fill and Top: Add a spoonful of the almond butter mixture to each chocolate-coated liner, then top with another tablespoon of melted chocolate. Spread evenly to cover the filling.
  5. Chill: Return the muffin tin to the freezer for an additional 20 minutes to allow the cups to firm up.
  6. Serve: Once set, remove the almond butter cups from the muffin tin and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
