Recipe: Mark Hyman, MD Peanut Butter Cups

Some people see a cup as half empty while others see it as half full. We prefer our cups stuffed with peanut butter and covered in chocolate.

Check out Mark Hyman, MD’s recipe for Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Cups. These peanut butter cups are a fun and healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying on track with your health goals!

Tasty, flavorful, and loaded with healthy fats from the coconut oil and peanut butter, these homemade treats are an upgrade from the hydrogenated versions you would usually see at the store. If you prefer, you can substitute other nut butters or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter, but make sure to adjust the honey to taste.

Nutritional analysis per serving (1 peanut butter cup): calories 144, fat 13 g, saturated fat 7 g, cholesterol 0 mg, fiber 1 g, protein 4 g, carbohydrate 8 g, sodium 2 mg

YIELD: 10 SERVINGS | PREP: 15 MINS

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil Bottom Layer
  • 1/4 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter Bottom Layer
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Bottom Layer
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey Bottom Layer
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil Top Layer
  • 1/4 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter Top Layer
  • 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Top Layer
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Top Layer
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey Top Layer

Instructions

TO MAKE THE BOTTOM LAYER:

Combine all the bottom layer ingredients in a small bowl and mix until very smooth.

Set 10 mini baking cups in a mini muffin pan. Pour about one tablespoon of the bottom-layer mixture into each baking cup without dribbling it down the inside of the paper (or you’ll get streaks in the final product). Place on a flat surface in the freezer.

TO MAKE THE TOP LAYER:

Combine all the top layer ingredients in a small bowl and mix until evenly incorporated. Remove the pan from the freezer and fill each baking cup to the top with the top-layer chocolate mixture.

Put the tray back in the freezer and let chill until the chocolate layer has hardened – about 15 minutes.

Chill for 30 minutes and enjoy!

You can store the peanut butter cups in the freezer for up to 4 months – but they’ll probably all be gone by then.

So, ARE You a Good Listener? 👂
