Roasted Blueberry, Almond Butter & Dark Choccie Cups
These bite-sized treats are pretty much the epitome of deliciousness – sweet, creamy and chocolatey.
The roasted blueberries add a wonderful fruity aspect, as well as a good nutritional punch. Combine it with the protein from almonds and the antioxidants from dark chocolate and we have a sweet treat that is pretty much a nutritional powerhouse whilst still remaining utterly decadent.
Best of all – these are ready is less than an hour and can last in the fridge/freezer for a couple of weeks. That is if you don’t finish them before.
You can make these in any size cupcake liners – small ones work really well too! Also, then you might not eat an entire chocolate cup at once and they might last you for longer.
I was smitten by these from the first bite – I’m sure you will be too!
