Hi Everyone, how are your New Year's resolutions going? Which ones did you make?
I want to know. I'll share one of mine this January: to cut back on refined sugar.
This is a hard resolution since I am a food blogger and I also have a (major) sweet tooth.
These Nut Butter Cups help with this resolution in that they are refined sugar free, using either maple syrup or honey (or agave syrup if you have it) for sweetness.
They are also dairy free since they combine creamy coconut oil and cocoa powder to make the chocolate component of the recipe.
The fat from the coconut oil fills you up and makes you feel satisfied.
Generally, after having 2 of these Nut Butter Cups in one sitting, I am left feeling satisfied.
They are completely customizable because you can use any kind of nut or seed butter you like.
For this recipe, I used almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter (SO CREAMY AND RICH!), and tahini (sesame seed butter).
You could also use pistachio butter, sunflower seed butter (another favorite) and I have even used Nutella (containing hazelnuts) when I tested this recipe (my daughter approves of that iteration).
