Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup runny peanut butter
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 overripe large bananas
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas thoroughly until smooth. Add the runny peanut butter and vanilla protein powder, then mix all ingredients together until a uniform dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture without melting the chips.
- Form the cups: Spoon the mixture into individual muffin cups or small silicone molds, pressing down gently to compact the fudge cups into shape.
- Bake: Place the cups in a preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until the edges are slightly golden and set.
- Cool down: Remove the fudge cups from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the molds, then transfer to a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up further before serving.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Runny peanut butter helps bind the ingredients while maintaining a creamy texture.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks for a richer flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a vegan version, choose a plant-based protein powder and ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
