Description
Rich, creamy, and ready in minutes, these no-bake bites are the perfect one-bowl, blood-sugar-friendly treat.
Ingredients
Flavor Base & Sweeteners
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons powdered monk fruit/allulose blend (or equivalent granulated zero-glycemic sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Peanut Butter & Binders
- 3 tablespoons 42g virgin coconut oil
- 13 tablespoons approx. 208g natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare a mini muffin pan by lining 16 cavities with mini paper or silicone liners.
- In a single large, microwave-safe bowl, add the coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts until fully melted. Whisk in the cocoa powder, powdered monk fruit/allulose blend, vanilla extract, ground flaxseed, and salt until a smooth, glossy chocolate paste forms.
- Add the natural peanut butter to the same bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely uniform, smooth, and thickened.
- Carefully spoon the peanut butter mixture, dividing it evenly among the 16 prepared mini muffin liners. Sprinkle the top of each bite with a few hemp hearts.
- Transfer the entire pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the bites are completely firm. Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Diabetes-Friendly Note: These bites are a glucose-steady superstar! With virtually no added sugars and a very low net carb count, they offer sweet satisfaction without the sharp blood sugar spike associated with traditional chocolates.
Helpful Tip: Since this recipe relies on coconut oil and peanut butter for that luxurious texture, it is richer in saturated fats. To keep it heart-healthy while managing diabetes, moderation is key. Enjoy one mini cup as a mindful, high-energy treat rather than having several at once.
