ALMOND BUTTER CUPS
Are you on a ketogenic or low carb diet and don’t know how to satisfy your sweet tooth without reaching for the sugar? Try these amazingly indulgent Almond Butter Cups. They’re great little fat bombs that are completely sugar free, made with just almond butter, coconut oil, cocoa powder, and stevia, and so easy to make. Read on to find out how to make these delicious fudgey treats.
It can be really hard to satisfy a sweet tooth when you’re on a keto/low carb diet. Eventually without the sugar intake your taste buds do adapt, but what do you do in the mean time? Make your own sugar free treats! It sounds like a lot of effort but with these Almond Butter Cups it really couldn’t be any easier. Just mix a few ingredients together, freeze them, and voila! Little cups of chocolate and nut butter heaven.
These are devilishly more-ish so some restraint may be required, but they do make for great fat bombs to boost your fat and calorie intake that can be tricky to do on a full keto diet. Gotta make up that 75% fat intake somehow!
According to my calculations these Almond Butter Cups are roughly 100 calories each, with 10g fats and 1g carbs.
So give them a try. Just 5 ingredients and 25 minutes later and you’ll be in nut butter heaven. Word of warning - eat them straight from the freezer as they melt quite quickly!
