Instructions
- Add cocoa powder, oil, ½ cup of the maple syrup, and salt to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl whisk together the peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tray with cupcake liners, fill each one with 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture and then smooth it out into a flat layer. Next, fill each one with 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture in the center, pushing it down slightly, and then top with 2 additional teaspoons of the chocolate. Gently smooth out the chocolate layer over the peanut butter using the back of a small spoon until it's completely flat.
- Refrigerate the peanut butter cups for at least two hours or up to overnight until hardened. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired and keep in the refrigerator between servings.
