Almond Butter Chocolate Cups by piggyinkitchen

YES!

What I want to share with you guys today is Almond Butter Cups, which are made of simple ingredients without a store-bought chocolate bars/chips: cacao powder, coconut oil and maple syrup☺

It looks complicated, but actually it is super easy to make🙌

It's Chocolate! But HEALTHY!

It's healthy! But SUPER RICH CHOCOLATE! 

This is the concept of this recipe! 😉

This recipe originally came from another one that I found randomly when I was a nutrition student here in Canada. Then, I created my own recipe reffereing to it to make it better and easier.

Personally, I love almond butter more than other types of nuts, so I used almond butter. However, you can definitely substitute with others like peanut butte or hazelnut butter and it will work as good as the original is :) 

If you are sweet tooth, you can adjust the level of sweetness in a healthier way with non-refined sugar like maple syrup 😉 Also, you can use any other type of nut butter than almond butter, like peanut butter and hazelnut butter, whichever you like ;) since this recipe is pretty flexible to your liking.

Alright, here is the recipe card for you!
Enjoy!
