Method
1. Preheat oven to 180degC 
(160degC fan). Place paper 
cupcake cases in a cupcake tray 
or two.

2. Place base ingredients in a 
food processor and whizz until 
smooth.

3. Spoon into the paper cases 
so  they are about one-third full, 
and bake for 20 minutes.

4. Leave to cool, then place 1 
teaspoon of peanut butter on top 
of each brownie base. Place in 
the freezer for half an hour while 
you make the chocolate topping.

5. For the chocolate topping, 
melt coconut oil in a heatproof 
bowl set over a saucepan half-
full of water on a low heat, then 
stir in the other ingredients.

6. Spoon on to the top of the 
peanut butter layer and place in 
the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
Store in the fridge in an 
airtight container for up to a 
week, or freeze for up to two 
months.
