No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Cups

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups granola* (optional: see sugar-free recipe below)
• 1 cup peanuts, chopped
• 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter or almond butter**
• 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (add more if needed)

Filling:

• 1 cup natural peanut butter

Topping:

• 12 oz. dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl combine the granola, chopped peanuts, peanut butter, and honey (or maple syrup). If the mixture is too dry, spoon in a little more honey until the mixture reaches a sticky consistency.
2. Grease a cupcake pan and divide the granola mixture into the 12 cups.
3. Press the mixture well against the sides and bottom of the pan until it holds together, and make a dent in the center of each cup for the filling.
4. Freeze for 5–10 minutes, until the cups are firm.
5. Melt peanut butter for the filling and pour it into the center of each granola cup, distributing the peanut butter evenly.
6. Now, freeze the pan for another 5-10 minutes, until the peanut butter is firm.
7. Finally, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil, and mix it together until they combine.
8. Spoon the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter filling.
9. Chill the pan until chocolate has set.
10. Store the granola cup in the fridge in an air-tight container, or freeze for longer storage time.
