Dark Chocolate Matcha Butter Cups

These delicious treats are vegan and anti-oxidant rich, making them the perfect snack. You can also make them lower sugar by replacing the maple syrup with a sugar free alternative. I use 85% dark chocolate but you could definitely swap it for white or milk chocolate for a sweeter, naughtier snack. I also padded the centre out with oats instead of just coconut oi as it's very high in saturated fat.

Makes 4 Cups

For the chocolate

• 250 g 85% chocolate

• Dash of plant based milk

For the filling

• 3 tbsp oats

• 2 tsp coconut oil

• 2 tsp maple syrup

• 2 tsp matcha

Instructions

• Line a muffin tin with cupcake cases

• Melt half the chocolate (microwave or bain marie)

• Spread evenly across the 4 cupcake cases (approx 1tbsp to form the first layer)

• Refrigerate

• Whilst the bottom layer is setting begin making the filling by melting the coconut oil (if in solid form) and mixing with the ample syrup and coconut oil

• Once the bottom layer is set, divide the filling between the four cases

• Leave to harden in the fridge

• Melt remainder of chocolate and pour over the filling to form the top layer

• Place in the fridge and leave to set

• Before eating allow to sit in room temp for around 5 mins
