Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Yield 18 - 20 protein cups

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or allergy friendly sub
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (32g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional for a smoother sauce)

Instructions

  • To make chocolate protein peanut butter cups, carefully melt the chocolate chips. Stir in the optional oil until smooth. Spread about a half teaspoon up the sides of mini cupcake liners. Stir the nut butter, salt, and protein powder until thick and smooth. Spoon a little over a teaspoon into each chocolate coated liner. Top with remaining chocolate sauce. Either chill ten minutes to set or wait a few hours and the chocolate peanut butter cups will set on their own. Once the chocolate shell hardens, liners should peel off easily. Store leftovers in a cool, dry place.
