Ingredients

Scale

Almond Butter Mixture

  • 3/4 cup almond butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup crispy brown rice cereal, plus more for garnish

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup (3 oz) dark chocolate
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners and set aside to prepare the filling.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut butter, and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring between each, or heat over medium-low on the stove while stirring frequently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Cereal: Stir in the crispy brown rice cereal until evenly coated with the almond butter mixture.
  4. Fill Liners: Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 muffin liners, filling each about one-third full.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator or freezer for 10 to 30 minutes to allow the cups to firm up. The freezer speeds up the process if you want to be quicker.
  6. Melt Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave using 30-second increments or on the stove over low heat until smooth.
  7. Coat Cups: Once the almond butter cups have firmed, spoon melted chocolate over each one. Garnish with extra brown rice cereal and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired.
  8. Final Chill: Return the coated cups to the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
  9. Storage: Store the almond butter cups in the fridge or freezer. They will soften and melt at room temperature, so keep them chilled until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use smooth or crunchy almond butter based on your texture preference.
  • If you’re in a hurry, use the freezer to firm the cups faster.
  • Flaky sea salt adds a nice contrast to the sweetness but is optional.
  • Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freezer up to 2 months.
  • These are best served chilled to maintain their crisp texture.
