Ingredients

½ cup almond butter (I like to use Barneys smooth almond butter)
½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips (I like to use Ghirardelli)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prep. This recipe makes 12 mini cups or 6 standard-size cups.
👉 For making mini almond butter cups, line a mini muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
👉 For making standard-size almond butter cups, line a regular muffin pan with 6 paper liners.
Melt. Place ½ cup almond butter, ½ cup chocolate chips, and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, until 90% melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and continue stirring until fully melted. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
Chill. Divide the mixture evenly among the paper-lined muffin cups. Gently tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to smooth out the tops. Sprinkle with a little salt, if desired, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until set.
Storage. Store in the refrigerator!
