Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Filling
- 1/2 cup almond butter
Topping
- 3 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until the ingredients form a sticky dough.
- Form the Cookie Cups: Press the almond flour mixture evenly into muffin liners placed in a muffin tin, making sure to compact the mixture well along the bottom and up the sides to create a firm base.
- Bake Lightly: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake the pressed dough in the muffin liners for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Add the Filling: Once cooled, spoon a dollop of almond butter into the center of each cookie cup, spreading gently but leaving a small space at the edges.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate until smooth and glossy.
- Top with Chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate over the almond butter-filled centers, making sure to cover the filling and slightly attach to the edges of the base.
- Chill to Set: Place the cookie cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate fully hardens and the cookie cups firm up. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor and health benefits.
- Almond flour gives these cookie cups a gluten-free, grain-free base.
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut or cashew butter if preferred.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Allow cookie cups to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving for optimal texture.
