One thing that I particularly love about this recipe is that it doesn't use anything out of the ordinary in order for it to be healthier.

When I began this blog, I decided to make it my ultimate goal to provide recipes that promote a healthier lifestyle and can aid in weight loss without people having to go out and literally do an entire pantry makeover.

I'm not sure if this goes for everyone but for myself in particular, one of the most discouraging things that I've faced in the past when it came to trying to eat healthier was that a majority of the recipes that I found demanded a great deal of ingredients that I didn't have....better yet, had never even heard of.

I would literally go from recipe to recipe, noting down ingredients that I would have to buy, and sadly after adding it all up, had to skip out because I just couldn't justify buying over $40 worth of specialized ingredients that I had no idea if I would even use again.

Sorry guys, but this college kiddo doesnothave the bucks for that.

Ihavehowever, grown to love a handful of healthy ingredients that I think are very reasonably priced and ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. One of those is PB Fit Powder, aka THE BEST THING EVER.

For those of you that aren't familiar with PB Fit powder, it's basically powder made from roasted peanuts, where a vast majority of the oil is extracted.

Because of this, a huge chunk of those calories are extracted also without the taste being significantly different to organic peanut butter. 2 tbs of PB fit powder add up to a mere 50 calories, whereas 2 tbs of regular peanut butter rack up at around 200.

For those of you that are very calorie conscious, this is a HUGE deal! Bye bye cals....you won't be missed 🙂

I love PB Fit powder for its versatility. In addition to being an awesome ingredient in these Skinny Dark Chocolate PB Cups, it can be used in so many other recipes, including:

  • PB Maple Drizzle (the only drizzle you'll ever need in life)
  • Skinny Mini PB Oreo Cheesecakes
  • PB Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
  • No Bake Vegan Samoas

I just love the pure, nutty taste that you get in these PB cups and how insanely easy they are to make! The recipe can also be adjusted very easily to make them vegan friendly, just simple use whichever vegan chocolate you prefer. Ta-Da! 🙂

Ingredients

  • 1 cup PB Fit Powder
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup almond milk (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Line a mini cupcake pan with mini cupcake liners. Add the dark chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals until fully melted. Gently stir in the almond milk until you have a creamy, chocolate ganache consistency. Separate the chocolate mixture into two separate batches. Using the first batch, distribute the mixture evenly among the cupcake liners. Place pan in the freezer for a few minutes to help the ganache to solidify a little.
  2. Combine the PB fit powder and water until you have a creamy peanut butter texture (the texture will be slightly runnier than regular peanut butter which is fine. This makes it easier to pour into the cupcake liners and it will still solidify once frozen). Pour the peanut butter into each of the cupcake liners to create another layer on top of the solid chocolate. Return to the freezer for approx 30 minutes to allow the peanut butter layer to solidify.
  3. Finally, add the second batch of melted chocolate to the cupcake liners and return to the freezer until the peanut butter cups are fully frozen. All done!

Notes

For a vegan version, simply opt for vegan chocolate chips.

These should be stored in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the freezer. Because chocolate ganache is naturally creamier than regular chocolate, this will prevent the cups from melting.
