Chocolate Almond Butter Cookie Cups

Hi hi! I know so many of y’all are committed to eating clean like moi! BUT it’s nice to have some healthy-ish gluten free treat options when that sweet tooth kicks in. These Chocolate Almond Butter Cookie Cups have become a fast favorite in my household. Luke downs at least two of them a night.

I had the idea for these this past Fall when I made a similar pumpkin cup. The buttery flavored cookie bottom and soft top is the perfect combo! The chocolate layer texture reminds me of a mix between cheesecake and mousse.

These have simple ingredients and are easy to whip up. Make sure to store them in an airtight container in the freezer. See below for a list of ingredients and steps to make. Enjoy!

I have a tutorial video on Instagram Reels of how I make these – click here!

Ingredients

Cookie Crust Layer

1 1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup ghee melted – OR sub coconut oil (it will taste more like coconut)

3 tablespoons maple syrup

Dash of sea salt

Chocolate Layer

3/4 cup almond butter

1/3 cup cocoa

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl mix together the cookie crust layer: almond flour, ghee, maple syrup and sea salt.

3. Using your hands, roll 12 smooth balls and place them in your muffin tray. I use a silicone option so I don’t need to use liners. If you have a classic muffin tin, use liners or spray with avocado oil.

4. Press the balls with your fingers to flatten them out (see picture below).

5. Place the cups into the oven for 12 minutes or until slightly golden.

6. While the cookie crust is baking, mix together the chocolate layer in a large bowl: almond butter, cocoa, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt.

7. Pull cups out of the oven and add chocolate layer on top using a spatula. Sprinkle with a little bit of sea salt.

8. Put them into the freezer to harden for 3 hours.

9. Once they are set, enjoy! Make sure to store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
