Easy to Make Chocolate Protein Cups

Jump to Recipe
You'd never know these were healthy by how delicious they taste.
You'd never know these were healthy by how delicious they taste.

Snack? Dessert? You decide. Either way these Chocolate Protein Cups are a healthy treat you’ll feel no guilt when eating.

No Bake, homemade, protein packed SunButter Cups make for a healthier, allergy-friendly, snack or dessert. Guilt free, gluten free & vegan too.

A Healthy Family Treat

Iโ€™m always on the lookout for healthy snacks for my family. While a store-bought protein bar may be a convenient choice, it is not always the best option out there! Many are loaded with all types of sugars, artificial ingredients and allergens that can cause more harm than good. Luckily, this recipe for homemade SunButter Protein Cupsย are easy to make, have none of the junk, all of the clean protein and taste like dessert. It has quickly become one of our all time favorites.

SunButter Chocolate Protein Cups

Itโ€™s a great grab and go, guilt-free snack that you and your family will love.

I like to make these in bulk and then place in the fridge or freezer to grab when needed. Sadly, however, the freezer option rarely happens (unless I’m hiding a batch). Most of the time, they simply make it to the fridge and thatโ€™s it. It seems like they get eaten faster than I can get make themโ€ฆ.but how can I complain about that when they are eating a healthier treat?

SunButter Chocolate Protein Cups

If you can carve out a little bit of time and make a big batch of SunButter Protein Cups, youโ€™ll save money, have total control over the ingredients and know that you have a delightful treat that is free of any of your allergens.

Plus, who doesnโ€™t love some SunButter & chocolate now and then, especially when itโ€™s this healthy?

How are they Chocolate SunButter Cups healthier?

  • Seedsย give a great dose of healthy fats.
  • Vegan Protein powder provides a nice dose of protein without the worry of dairy or eggs.
  • Coconut oil is a great healthy fat as well.
  • No preservatives.
  • No questionable โ€œnatural flavorsโ€.
  • Allergy-free.ย You can make these bars however you need to in order to avoid allergens or sensitivities but they are already top 8 free if you followย the recipe below.
  • SunButter is a delicious peanut butter alternative, plus it is nutritionally superior. “SunButter has just as much protein as the leading brand of peanut butter, but with one-third less saturated fat, absolutely no trans fats, less sodium, and less sugar. One serving of SunButter provides more vitamin E, twice as much fiber and zinc, and nearly triple the iron than is provided by one serving of the leading peanut butter!”

    Chocolate and SunButter is one of my favorite flavor combinations! Did you use silicone muffin liners or just regular paper kind? I’m looking forward to making these with the added salt on top! I bet it’s delish!

      Can you do soy? I.M. Soynut Better is one of the better ones I’ve tried. If you can do peas, then Sneaky Chef is awesome.

        Unfortunately I can’t do either. I have no clue what a ‘nut’ butter tastes like. I saw coconut butter on the market – but they don’t ship to Germany ๐Ÿ™

    These look delicious! I tried a recipe for these from a cookbook once but they were all gooey inside and never hardened. Yours look perfect, can’t wait to try them.

      Really? The middle consistency in these aren’t gooey or runny at all. I just had to push down to spread it out a bit. It was REALLY hard work (lol).

      It will vary based off of the brand or variety of protein powder and SunButter you choose to use. But I added general info in the “notes” section on the recipe.
