Ingredients
- ⅓ cup almond butter runny
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ cup collagen powder
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips mini, dark chocolate optional
- 1 tbs coconut oil
- 1 tbs cacao butter
Instructions
- In a small pot, melt the cacao butter, mini chocolate chips, and coconut oil over low heat.
- Meanwhile, mix together the almond butter, collagen, and maple syrup.
- Once the chocolate is melted, use a tablespoon to portion just under a tablespoon into 6 muffin cups.
- Next, divide the almond mixture (it’s thick, not runny!). Then, press is down a bit.
- Finally, pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top.
- Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt if you want.
- Pop in the freezer for 2 hours to set.

Notes
- If you don’t use runny almond butter, the inside of the almond butter cups will be thicker.
- Cashew butter (most nut butter) will work in place of almond butter.
- The high-protein almond butter cups do stay pretty solid at room temperature however, in warm weather they will give you sticky chocolate hands.
- Store almond butter cups in the fridge or the freezer.
