Recipe Name:
Peanut Butter Collagen Cups
Ingredients:
• 1½ cups almond flour
• 3 scoops CanGro Collagen Powder
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• ½ cup smooth peanut butter
• ¼ cup milk of choice
• 200 g dark chocolate, melted
Optional Add-ins & Substitutions:
• Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
• Swap almond flour for finely ground oat flour if preferred.
• Use oat, almond or dairy milk depending on your preference.
• Add a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-and-salty flavour.
• Top with crushed peanuts, coconut or cacao nibs before the chocolate sets.
Steps:
- Line a muffin tin with 8 paper muffin cases.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, CanGro Collagen Powder and cinnamon.
- Add the vanilla extract, maple syrup, peanut butter and milk.
- Stir until a soft, sticky mixture forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add another teaspoon of milk at a time until it reaches a mouldable consistency.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the 8 muffin cases and press down firmly to create the base.
- Melt the dark chocolate in short intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over each peanut butter base, spreading it to cover the surface.
- Sprinkle with a little sea salt or your favourite topping, if desired.
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
- Remove from the fridge and enjoy.
