Adaptogenic Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut Butter Cups

Anyone else a lover of all things chocolate?? These delicious peanut butter cups make a perfect evening dessert or sweet snack during the day. With adaptogens like ashwagandha and maca, they not only taste delicious, they also support the body in adapting to stress. Ashwagandha is amazing at reducing inflammation, stress, and anxiety. Maca has been shown to help improve your mood and increase energy. I love keeping a stash of these and enjoying one for dessert in the evening. If you make them, let me know what you think in the comments below!

Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

Chocolate

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup raw cacao powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup optional
  • 8 drops liquid stevia instead of maple syrup for a sugar free option
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder optional
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons maca powder optional
  • 5 drops liquid stevia
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides or protein powder

Instructions

  • Line a muffin tin with 12 paper-liners
  • Make the chocolate: Combine the coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup or liquid stevia in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk to combine. After combined, remove from heat and add in vanilla.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of the chocolate to the bottom of each cup. Using the teaspoon, spread the chocolate halfway up the sides of each liner.
  • When all the cups are filled, place the pan in the freezer for about five minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  • While chocolate hardens, make the peanut butter filling. Mix together ¼ cup peanut butter with the ashwagandha, maca, and collagen peptides.
  • Remove chocolate from freezer. Add 1 heaping teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture to the middle of each chocolate cup.
  • Cover each cup with 2 teaspoons of the remaining chocolate mixture.
  • Place the cups in the freezer for about 10 minutes to harden. After 10 minutes remove peanut butter cups from the paper liners and enjoy! Store the remaining peanut buttercups in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
