Print Pin
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Organic Creamy Peanut Butter - Georgia Grinders
  • 3/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1/3 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Flour
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt

Ganache

  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Cream

Pb cups

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil if your PB isn’t super runny

Instructions

  • Make homemade PB cups (or have your store bought PB cups quartered. I like Unreal Snacks brand and Justin’s Organic Dark Chocolate PB Cups)
  • Melt dark chocolate with a pinch of coconut oil in 30 second intervals. Pour into mini muffin liners, and move around in a circle to allow chocolate to drip up the sides.
  • Place in the freezer until hard, just 5 – 10 minutes while you make the filling.
    Mix PB, syrup, protein powder, and coconut oil together
  • Place inside hardened chocolate shells, top with more melted chocolate, and freeze an additional 10 minutes
  • Once chocolate is firm to the touch, remove from liners
  • Mix dough ingredients together, then press down into 8x8 dish lined with parchment paper
  • Melt chocolate for ganache, then stir in coconut cream (just the thick part)
  • Pour overtop your dough layer
  • Cut your homemade PB cups into small pieces and sprinkle on top
  • Refrigerate or freeze until ganache has set (~1hr)

Notes

Can also make filling by mixing some creamy peanut butter with some protein powder, but make sure your chocolate is solid frozen before placing on top bottom layer
