Keto Peanut Butter Cups
It is my birthday tomorrow and I wanted to make a simple yet delicious candy for my friends! Since most people I know LOVE peanut butter cups, I made keto peanut butter cups that are packed with protein!
HOW TO MAKE KETO PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
I actually do not have peanut butter in my keto peanut butter cups! Instead, I used Equip Prime peanut butter protein! Oh it is so good!
Some of you know that I pack Equip Prime Protein powder in my carry on when I travel! I am in LOVE with it! But at the airport when I was on my way to speak in Baltimore, the security thought my little ziplock with powder in it looked “fishy.” So they had to test it! lol!
Equip Prime Protein powder is an all-natural, comes from 100% grass-fed beef protein powder. No fillers, no additives, no chemicals and it is so delicious! It works perfect for making my keto peanut butter cups!

Keto Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons salted butter softened (or butter flavored coconut oil if dairy free)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sweetener (I used allulose and 1 teaspoon stevia glycerite)
- 3 scoops Peanut Butter Equip Protein Powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
CHOCOLATE COATING
- 1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate chopped fine
- 5 tablespoons butter (or butter flavored coconut oil if dairy free)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener (I used allulose and 1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite)
- 1 scoop Chocolate Equip Protein Powder
Instructions
- Place the softened butter, sweetener, protein powder and vanilla in a large bowl and use a hand mixer to combine until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Place the mixture into a mini silicone muffin pan (or the bottom of a parchment lined 8x8 inch baking dish). Place in the fridge while you make the chocolate coating.
- To make the chocolate coating, place the chopped chocolate and butter into a medium bowl. Heat in the microwave at 20 second increments and stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted. Add the sweetener and prime protein. Use a hand mixer to combine until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Pour over the peanut butter layer. Place in fridge for 4 hours to set.
- Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Can be frozen for up to a month.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
I spoke in Baltimore and Meredith came to surprise me! Doesn’t she look AMAZING????
“I have been overweight since second grade. In fifth and sixth grade my parents took me once a week to a children’s weight loss clinic, where group weigh-ins and talk therapy were the order of the day. I was an active kid, I was on the swim team and I showed horses, it wasn’t a lack of exercise. By the time I graduated high school I was wearing a size 22/24.
When I graduated from college in 1991, I was a size 28.
I was put on blood pressure medication when I was 30 and put on antidepressants a year later. Around 35 I was diagnosed with Hashimotos.
In the Fall of 2016, my doctor talked to me about Metformin. He gave me a prescription that I did not fill until February of 2017. When I saw him in June of 2017, he told me that we needed to talk about insulin, I was 420 pounds.
I came across Maria Emmerich and in 6 months, my doctor took me off metformin, and the antidepressants. At only 9 months, I lost 100 pounds, and my doctor cried.
In 2 years, I have lost 206 pounds and am 20 pounds from my goal. I am OFF blood pressure medicines and now the only thing I am still taking is for the Hashimotos, and I am working to get off of that now thanks to Maria.
I actually bought a size 12 dress the other day, because it fit! I have not worn a size 14/16 since 6th grade!
Maria has helped me greatly while I have been on this journey, I live in Wisconsin and have been lucky enough to have met her in person now 6 times. Every time I see her it amazes me that she remembers me, her warmth and joy inspire me to continue on with my journey. My only regret is that I did not find this way of eating sooner.
Thank you Maria, from the bottom of my heart, Meredith”

Hi Maria,
I tried to place an order using your code and it was rejected. I wanted to order chocolate and peanut butter on the subscription plan. Do you know why it was refused? Thank you. Kathy
Code MARIA does not work on subscription orders since those are already discounted 🙂
These are seriously GOOD!!! I could not wait so I put mine in the freezer for a bit and they taste kinda like a butterfinger to me. Will make again and again. Thank you Maria!
I am so glad you like them! ❤️❤️❤️
What brand of butter flavored coconut oil do you recommend?
We use this: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/butter-flavored-coconut-oil/
I made these and really love them. When I was in high school, a popular brand of peanut butter cups were a staple lunchtime dessert. As I got older and realized sugar was so unhealthy, I gave them up. To me this recipe is the best healthy replacement I’ve found. I appreciate the distinct combination of both the chocolate and peanut butter and to eat them feels so nourishing. I do not need to eat the whole batch at once! Being a carnivore/ketovore I found that the sweetener already contained in the Equip protein was enough to sweeten the batch to my preference so for me, I passed on the added allulose and/or stevia. I’m aware that the allulose would add bulk to make slightly larger cup content. Overall a fantastic recipe!
you said in video 2 oz unsweetened chocolate but your recipe says 1oz so which one? I want mine to be yummy
I saw that too and decided 2 oz was correct since most Baking Chocolate Bars are 4 oz and she referred to 1/2 of a bar.
I made the batch with The Good Chocolate (Milk) and it bound up in a ball when I added the equip chocolate powder. Was this result due to the kind of chocolate I used?
Hmm I’m not sure. Sorry🙏
