Nutella Cups

Nutella Cups

So it’s no secret I love chocolate.

There was even a time I was known for eating Nutella right out of the jar with a spoon, like pudding (so good). So, when I came across a recipe for Sunbutter Cups with Dark Chocolate by www.thehonoursystem.com it got my mind working.
I came up with the Nutella version.

 Yum!  And husband approved!
Now I used a very fancy nut butter so I only made a small batch that serves 5. You could easily double it.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Blue Mountain Organics Sprouted Hazelnut Butter unsalted (I use this because sprouted nuts are better for digestion).  *I’ve also used the “European Almond” Flavor and I actually like it even better.

1/8 cup or 1 oz. Coconut Oil (melted). *I just eyeballed half of a 1/4 cup measure.

2 3/4 Teaspoons Maple Syrup (I’m sure you could use honey instead if you desire)

1/8 teaspoon Salt

1/8 cup or 1 oz. Dark Chocolate (I used Green&Blacks 70% dark chocolate. I just chopped up 9 squares of it. You could also use Enjoy Life brand dark chocolate chips. This brand is soy, nut, and dairy free.)

Directions:

Mix nut butter, oil, maple syrup, salt and half of the chocolate together. Just stir, no need for a fancy mixer.
Pour mix into a lined muffin tin.
*I used paper liners and made about 5. You could make more if you made them smaller.

Sprinkle the cups with the remaining chocolate and pop into the freezer for 30 minutes to set.

If you don’t eat them all, store in the freezer in a sealed container. They may melt at room temperature.

Simple and quick! Good for health savvy moms.

Let me know what you think! Enjoy!
