Raw Vegan Choc Peanut Butter Cups

Leave me home alone on a friday night and this happens .... At least there is no added sugar, they have ground linseed for fibre and omega 3 and cacao for its phytonutrients. 
Whilst they are clean, vegan, raw etc etc; coconut oil is high in calories, from all its medium change fatty acids -  that do however have many documented benefits, particularly for people with poor digestive systems. 

Ingredients
1 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup raw cacao
1/2 cup Natvia sugar free hot choc
1/4 cup Agave Nectar
2 TBS ground linseed
1 cup PB2 Powder
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Directions 

Step 1
Sift cocoa and hot chocolate powder into the coconut oil and mix, then add ground linseed.

Step 2
Add 2/3 mixture to patty pans in a muffin tray. I used normal size but suggest mini! Pop in the freezer for 5 minutes. I made 9 large ones I would suggest 18-25 small ones, as they are very rich! 

Step 3
Mix PB2 powder with water then mix in chopped peanuts. Spoon mixture on top of the choc mixture, then top with the left over chocmixture. Freeze for a few hours or over night.
Store in the fridge.

Products I used

PB2 Powder - essentially dehydrated peanut butter with all of the fat removed, it becomes like peanut butter when water is added, with the benefit of 85% less fat and we most of us know peanuts are high in the baddy saturated fat check out more here : www.bellplantation.com
