Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup nuts, chopped
- 2–3 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cups. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the coconut oil, coconut cream (or solidified coconut milk), almond butter, agave nectar, coconut sugar, and sea salt. Stir on a low to medium heat until melted.
- Using an ice cream scoop or tablespoon, carefully pour the melted mixture into each muffin cup, filling approximately 1/4 full. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the ingredients have set.
- Melt about 2-3 tablespoons chocolate chips in the microwave (or according to package instructions). Add a teaspoon of coconut oil, if desired, to help the chocolate solidify once it is drizzled over the crunch cups. Using a teaspoon, drizzle the chocolate across the cups in a zigzag formation or add a dollop of chocolate directly in the center of each cup.
- Store tightly covered in the freezer for several weeks.
Notes
- To use full-fat coconut milk, chill a can in the refrigerator (make sure not to shake it prior to putting it in the fridge). When the coconut milk has had a chance to get firm, the thicker part of the milk (the “cream”) will rise to the top. Skim off two tablespoons to use in this recipe.
- Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate chips so they can melt together in the microwave. The coconut oil will help solidify the chocolate once it is drizzled on the Almond Butter Crunch Cups.
- Yields will vary, however typically you’ll get about 12 regular crunch cups or 24 mini crunch cups.
