Almond Butter

Our single ingredient almond butter is the perfect addition of delicious healthy fats to your diet. Smooth and creamy in texture; mild and nutty in flavor. Enjoy it drizzled over fresh fruit, in your smoothie or a spoonful on its own.

Here are 3 fun facts about almonds that make us want to dive right into a jar of almond butter right away:

• they have a high mineral content, containing essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium
  
  
• almonds are rich in healthy fats - in particular, ALA omega 3 fats - hello brain food!
  
  
• almonds are high in Vitamin E - which is a fat-soluble vitamin responsible for fighting free radicals and helping to repair damaged skin

This recipe makes ~ 20 mini almond butter cups. For equipment, you will need a mini muffin tin, paper muffin cups/ liners, and a double boiler for melting the chocolate.

Ingredients

For the chocolate mixture:

• 220 grams unsweetened dark chocolate

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

For the filling:

• 1 cup organic almond butter

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

1. In a double boiler, melt together the unsweetened dark chocolate, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons coconut oil.

2. Line a mini muffin tin with 20 paper cups. Or, if using a full size muffin tin use 10 -12 paper cups.

3. Add about half a tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture to each paper cup, carefully rotating the cup so that the chocolate lines the sides of the cup. Place in the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes to solidify.

4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the filling including almond butter, sea salt, 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.

5. Once the chocolate has solidified, add 1 teaspoon of almond butter mixture to each cup. Pop it in the fridge once more to set.

6. After the almond butter has set, add the remaining melted chocolate to the top of each cup, again using about half a tablespoon for each cup. You may need to gently tap the chocolate cup on the countertop to get the chocolate to evenly cover the surface.

7. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and set in the fridge or freezer once more. Enjoy!
