Ingredients
- 250 grams creamy or crunchy natural peanut butter
- 30 grams vanilla protein powder
- 50 grams pure maple syrup
- 5 grams vanilla extract
- 1 gram fine sea salt
- 60 grams mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
Chocolate coating
- 170 grams dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips ((Lily’s brand is amazing))

Instructions
-
Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicone mini muffin pan.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth. If it is overly sticky add a little extra protein powder or chill the dough for 20-30 minutes.
-
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
-
Portion about a tablespoon or 16 grams of dough into each mini muffin cavity, pressing it down to fill the cup.
-
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 20-second intervals stirring until smooth.
-
Spoon about half a tablespoon over each peanut butter bite and gently tap the pan so the chocolate settles into an even layer.
-
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set.
-
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze up to 3 months.
