Protein peanut butter cups recipe card – high-protein healthy chocolate dessert

Protein Peanut Butter cups

This recipe delivers 20 grams of protein per peanut butter cup using just six simple ingredients. Natural peanut butter and vanilla whey protein form the base while sugar-free chocolate chips create the topping. You scoop the mixture into silicone muffin liners, drizzle melted chocolate over them, and chill for two hours. They store well in the fridge or freezer, which makes them easy to batch prep for the week.
