Ingredients

Peanut Oat Crust

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
4 medium pitted medjool dates
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Chocolate Mousse Filling

1/4 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips
2 medium ripe avocados, pitted and diced
2 scoops (30 grams each) vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peanut Butter Topping

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar

Instructions

Peanut Oat Crust

Line a muffin pan with 6 liners. Set aside for a moment.
Combine all crust ingredients in a food processor and process until a slightly moist mixture forms.
Divide crust between liners and firmly pat into the bottom and a little up the sides. Place in freezer to set while you make the filling.

Chocolate Mousse Filling

Place chocolate chips in the top bowl of a double-boiler set over simmering water. Melt chocolate over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Place avocado, protein powder, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla, and melted chocolate in a food processor. Process until filling is smooth and thick, scraping down sides as necessary.
Divide mousse filling between cups, spooning over crust and smoothing top. Transfer to freezer and allow to freeze 1 hour.

Peanut Butter Topping

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt peanut butter, coconut oil, and honey until smooth and drizzling consistency.
Remove mousse cups from freezer and spoon peanut butter topping over each. Top mousse cups with chopped peanuts and drizzle with additional melted chocolate if desired. Allow cups to freeze an additional 1-2 hours until firm and store in freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy!
