Ingredients
– 1 cup cottage cheese (ricotta works too!)
– 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, your choice)
– 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
– A pinch of sea salt
– Optional: crushed nuts for topping
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Spoon or spatula
– Muffin tin (with liners or greased)
– Microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
– Refrigerator
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, grab your mixing bowl and combine the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix it all together until it’s smooth and creamy. I like to use a spatula for this because it helps to incorporate everything without leaving chunks behind. The smell is heavenly as the peanut butter and sweet honey mingle together!
