Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (Only 2g Net Carbs Each)

 

Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (Only 2g Net Carbs Each!)

If you're craving something rich, chocolatey, and totally guilt-free, these Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are your new best friend. They’re decadent, low-carb, and perfect for satisfying that sweet tooth while staying in ketosis.

Made with unsweetened baking chocolate (100% cacao), unrefined coconut oil, and natural peanut butter with no added sugar, these mini treats are free of added sugars and packed with healthy fats. Plus, this recipe makes a batch of 60 mini cups, ideal for portion control and meal prepping your keto-friendly sweets. I like to freeze them and take one out when I have a sugar or chocolate craving. Enjoy!

🍫 Ingredients:

  • 6 oz unsweetened baking chocolate (100% cacao)

  • 1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil

  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or allulose (adjust to taste)

  • 1 cup no sugar added peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • 60 mini cupcake liners

🥣 Instructions:

  1. Prep: Line a mini muffin tin with 60 mini cupcake liners.

  2. Make the Chocolate Base:

    • In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened chocolate and coconut oil.

    • Heat gently until melted, stirring until smooth.

    • Add the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until well combined.

  3. Add Chocolate to Liners:

    • Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of each mini liner.

    • Place the tray in the freezer for 5–10 minutes until slightly firm.

  4. Add Peanut Butter Layer:

    • Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of natural peanut butter over the set chocolate layer.

  5. Top with Chocolate:

    • Spoon another 1/2 teaspoon of the melted chocolate over the peanut butter to cover it.

    • Tap the tray gently to level the tops.

  6. Chill:

    • Return to the freezer for at least 20–30 minutes, or until fully set.

  7. Store:

    • Keep the cups in the refrigerator or freezer. They melt easily at room temperature due to the coconut oil.
