I'm in the process of somewhat redecorating the blogspot! It's been a while, and I have a bunch of new recipes. Most of my new recipes, seeing as I am a college student, are easy and able to make in under 15 minutes! From here on out, the majority of my posts will quick, simple, healthy, and yummstas, as I like to say.
If you know me, I'm a chocolate girl. Every day I need at least one chocolatey treat. Finals are coming up, and I need to keep my dessert stash loaded! There's nothing wrong with sweets, in moderation, if there is nutrition in them. These peanut butter cups are the perfect way to procrastinate for a short five minutes, before you get back to the books. Here's the recipe!
Kristina's Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
1 cup chocolate chips
2 TBSP coconut oil
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
2 drops of stevia (or 1/4 stevia packet)
optional: 1 TBSP maca root powder
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, ground flaxseed, and stevia.
Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in-between, until all chocolate is smooth and melted. Take caution to not exceed 15 seconds, or else chocolate may burn.
Once melted, fill cupcake liners (or sprayed muffin tins) with 1 TBSP melted chocolate. Tilt cupcake liners (or spoon chocolate up the sides of the muffin tin walls) so that chocolate coats about 1/3 inch up. Place 1 TBSP peanut butter mixture on top, and flatten. Add another TBSP melted chocolate on top, and smooth over to cover the peanut butter.
Freeze for 20 minutes, and enjoy!
I wish you all a lovely week. MONDAYS RULE!!!
Stay passionate,
XOXO Kris
