These Peanut Butter Pretzel Protein Cups are a delicious and nutritious snack, combining the sweetness of peanut butter with the crunch of pretzels, and packed with protein.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup pretzel crumbs (crushed pretzels for extra crunch)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, and honey. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the pretzel crumbs. Adjust the size of the pretzel pieces for extra crunch.
  3. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it, then divide the mixture evenly into the cups.
  4. For an added touch, sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top of each cup. Skip this step for a healthier version.
  5. Place the muffin tin in the fridge and let it chill for about 30 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 12 protein cups, depending on size.
  • These protein cups can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to a month.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • For a richer treat, dip the bottoms in melted dark chocolate before chilling.
  • For lower sugar, reduce honey or use a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
