How to make keto matcha peanut butter cups

 

 

These are a great, simple no-bake treat you can make in a few steps!

The first step is to make the peanut butter filling for the cups. Make this by combining the powdered sweetener, peanut butter, coconut oil, and non-dairy milk. This will form a thick “dough.” Form the dough into individual round, flat discs and set them aside for later.


Now, melt the white chocolate chips. You can do this by heating in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between each interval. Once the chocolate is completely melted, mix in the Sugar Free Matcha Latte Mix, until the mixture is smooth and combined.


Line a muffin tin with muffin liners, and add about one tablespoon of matcha chocolate to each liner, bringing the chocolate up the sides of the liner as well. Place one of the peanut butter discs into each liner, then add more matcha chocolate on top, filling to the top.


Set the matcha peanut butter cups in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until completely hardened.


Lastly, enjoy!

 

 

Recipe tips

 

 

  • These can be made in either a mini muffin tin or regular sized tin. We made this recipe in a mini tin! If you choose to make full-sized cups, just adjust the amount of chocolate you add to each liner, and adjust the size of the peanut butter discs to be a little bigger.
  • If needed, add about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate, to make it easier to spread in the liners.
  • Use any milk you like! Almond, oat, or soy are all great choices.
  • Keto matcha peanut butter cups can be stored in an airtight container in either the fridge or at room temperature for up to two weeks.
