High Protein Peanut Butter Bites

These high protein peanut butter bites are SO good and easy to make. They have simple ingredients, yet they taste similar to a Reese’s peanut butter cup.

Equipment

  • Silicone Mini Muffin Pan You want silicone so you can pop them out easily or use liners in a regular tray.
  • 3 small mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • spatula
  • spoon

Ingredients
  

  • Layer 1
  • 1.5 Cups Almond Flour
  • ¼ Cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Oil measure in it’s solid state, melt after
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Layer 2
  • 1 Cup Dark Chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil Solid
  • Layer 3 the best part!
  • ½ Cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 Cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ Cup Vanilla Protein Powder see note

Instructions
 

  • Layer 1
  • Gather everything you need. Melt your coconut oil (After its measured in it’s solid state)
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine ingredients for layer one in a small bowl.
  • Divide evenly among your 24 mini muffin cups. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Layer 2
  • Once your first layer is done baking, let it cool. Then melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave or on stovetop. I use the microwave since it’s easier. Stir every 20 seconds until fully melted. Spoon it over the 24 mini cups evenly once they have cooled.
  • Layer 3
  • Melt the peanut butter slightly so it’s easier to work with. Mix in the rest of the ingredients for layer 3. This should turn into a lighter whipped consistency. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for ten minutes. Then place it in a plastic ziploc and cut a tiny piece of the corner off. You can use something else if you want but will be easier to divide it among the 24 mini cups this way.
  • Place the assembled 3 layer treat in the refrigerator and let it chill for an hour or so.

Notes

I have added up to ⅔ Cup Vanilla Protein Powder, the flavor and texture are still great.
