Dark Chocolate Cups: Roasted Blueberry & Almond Butter

So remember when I said I was obsessed with dark chocolate? Well here I go again. Dark chocolate cups are my go-to. But it was time for something other than banana and almond butter.

I found this recipe for roasted blueberry & almond butter dark chocolate cups. They are to die for. You might as well be eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich wrapped in chocolate.

Thomas was not sure how he felt about me roasting the blueberries first, but it is an absolute game changer.

Ingredients-

  • 1 1/2 cups of blueberries
  • 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup of natural almond butter (unsweetened) or any other butter you might want!
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 170g dark chocolate (I used about 85% cacao)

Instructions-

Preheat the oven to 350°F

In a bowl, combine the blueberries, honey and lemon juice. Place in a layer on an oven-tray and roast for 7-10 minutes.

Let cool at room temperature.

While the blueberries are roasting, melt the chocolate on the stove with about a tablespoon of coconut oil.  When the chocolate is melted, place a tablespoon of it into a cupcake liner. Repeat with the rest of the liners and place in the freezer to solidify for 15-30 minutes.

Add some cinnamon into your almond butter.

When the chocolate has solidified, place a teaspoon of almond butter in each and top with a tablespoon of roasted blueberries. Top with a tablespoon of melted chocolate. Place the cups in the freezer for 30 minutes or until solidified.
