Low Cal PB Cups

Making peanut butter cups at home is one of the classic desserts, as it's so easy to do. But instead of double dipping in fat with both peanut butter and melted chocolate, I've swapped the filling for powdered peanut butter, lowering calories and raising the protein. Additionally, both the filling and coating are sweetened with monk fruit, making them sugar free as well

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered peanut butter, sweetener, salt, and cinnamon. Add in the vanilla and applesauce, and mix with a silicone spatula until you have a fully combined dough

Step 2

Scoop small balls onto a parchment lined plate, about 8 g each. Lightly wet your fingers, and flatten into even disks. Freeze for 15 minutes to harden

Step 3

Meanwhile, clean your bowl, and add in the coconut oil. Microwave for 1 minute to melt, and stir in the cocoa powder and sweetener

Step 4

Using 2 forks, lightly coat each peanut butter disc in the chocolate, and transfer back to the plate. Optionally, top with flakey salt. Refrigerate to harden
