Almond Butter Brownie Cups
Sweet treats don’t have to have 100s of ingredients to taste amazing. These almond butter brownie cups are a great example of that. Containing just 5 simple ingredients, they are fantastic if you are looking for something which is refined sugar free, but still tastes like an indulgent treat.
Equipment
- Magimix food processor *affiliate link
Ingredients
Base ingredients:
- 1½ cups walnuts (150g)
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates, pitted (200g)
- ½ cup almond butter (120g)
- 4 tbsp cacao powder
Topping ingredients:
- ⅓ cup smooth almond butter (80g)
- ⅓ cup ground almonds (35g)
- 6 large soft medjool dates pitted
- Handful of chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Add all the base ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. This might take a few minutes. If it doesn’t come together, add 1 tbsp of water - it will depend on how soft your dates are and which almond butter you use.
- Separate until equal pieces and press down into a silicone cup case tray (or paper cases). Refrigerate whilst you make the topping.
- To make the topping, blend the almond butter, dates and ground almonds together and spread over the top of each base. Sprinkle over some chopped walnuts (and a few cacao nibs if you have them) and put back into the fridge for at least an hour.
Notes
- Store in the fridge to keep them nice and hard and they will last for about a week.
- I also added some chocolate coated cacao nibs to the top of my cups but this is entirely optional and not included in the nutritional information.
