After the year we've had, we could all use some chocolate, am I right?
And our immune systems deserve some loving too! That's why I made this recipe refined sugar free!
Processed sugar weakens your immune system.
Where as 100% pure maple syrup is naturally high in antioxidants & in minerals such as calcium, potassium, zinc, & manganese!
Fun fact: a deficiency in zinc & manganese can reduce white blood cell counts, which effects immunity.
Cacao is also very high in minerals & the cacao butter is a great source of healthy fats. Great to fuel & energize our bodies!
Here is a super quick & easy refined sugar free, chocolate recipe.
What you'll need:
1 C Raw Cacao Butter > this is the unrefined version of cacao
1/2 C Raw Cacao
1/4 C Oat Milk
4 tbsp Maple Syrup (or more if you prefer)
Cacao Nibs (optional)
Boil water in a small pot about 1/4 or 1/3 of the way.
Once the water its boiled place mason jar in the pot (without the lid).
Add raw cacao butter & waits for it to melt completely.
Add raw cacao, oat milk, & maple syrup.
Stir until it's evenly mixed.
Using oven mitts, take the jar off the stove and pour into a SILICONE muffin tray.
Sprinkle on some cacao nibs (optional), or any other topping.
Place the trays in the freezer or fridge until they become solid again (I left mine overnight).
Happy Valentine's Day!
