Melt chocolate, peanut butter, & maple syrup until spreadable. We used 20-30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, but a double boiler will work, too. 2. Arrange apple slices on a plate or cookie sheet. Spread with chocolate mixture. 3. Top with flakey salt & coconut. 4. Store in the fridge. These will keep for 2-3 days, but are best eaten quickly so the apple doesn't turn soft. 🥜🥜🥜PB Cups (makes 12 short-filled muffin sized cups): 1C greek yogurt (fage 0% is great for high protein, low fat) 6T peanut butter powder 2T peanut butter 2T maple syrup 1tsp vanilla extract pinch salt 1C chocolate chips + 2T coconut oil, melted together until liquid 1. Mix yogurt, PB powder, PB, maple syrup, vanilla & salt until combined. Taste - adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if you prefer. 2. Drizzle a large spoonful of chocolate mixture in the bottom of 12 muffin cups. 3. Add a scoop (2T or so) of the peanut butter mixture. Using a wet finger, gently flatten the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to push down too hard as you'll punch through the chocolate on the bottom. 4. Top with remaining chocolate. 5. Leave to firm in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. These will keep well in the fridge and can be frozen (defrost in the fridge before serving). 🍪🍪🍪Protein Cookie Dough 2C small curd cottage cheese (if using large curd, see note below) 1C almond flour (or another, non-wheat flour of your choice. do NOT use all purpose flour as it's not safe to eat raw) 1/4C maple syrup (more or less depending on how sweet you want these) 2 large scoops protein powder (can omit if you prefer and add more flour / oats) 1tsp almond extract (optional, vanilla works too) 1C oats (quick cooking are best) 1C chocolate chips 1. Mix all ingredients together except chocolate chips until combined. 2. Stir in chocolate chips. NOTE: If you prefer a smooth cookie dough, are using large curd, or don't like the texture of small curd cottage cheese, use your food processor to blend all ingredients except chocolate chips. When smooth to your liking, stir in chocolate chips by hand. 3. Refrigerate until firm. Form cookie dough balls and return to the fridge to store. These are best with some time in the fridge if not blending as the oats will soften slightly. 0:00 coming up 0:30 recipe overviews 1:15 caramel delites 4:24 peanut butter cups 7:33 cookie dough 9:42 taste test! #healthyrecipes #nobakerecipe #proteinsnack #peanutbuttercups #cookiedough
