INGREDIENTS

PREPARATION

  1. Melt the cacao butter. Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and add the cacao. Stir until melted. Add the cacao powder and stir until combined.
  2. Add the maple syrup, maca, vanilla and salt. Taste, adding more maple syrup if desired.
  3. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cases and spoon 1 tbsp of chocolate into each one.
  4. Set in the fridge to harden, about 20 minutes.
  5. Once hardened, using a teaspoon measure add 1 tsp of almond butter on top of the chocolate and smooth it out.

  7. Put the almond butter cups into the fridge to harden. Once hardened, remove them from the muffin tray and store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
