- Pre heat oven to 175° Celsius (347°F) and set aside 2 x 12 hole silicone mini-cupcake mold.
- In a large bowl use a fork or spatula to mix peanut butter until loose and smooth.
- Add eggs*, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder and sea salt and mix well to combine.
- Fold through cacao nibs. The mixture will be like a dough, thick and quite firm.
- Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture into each well of the mini-cupcake mold, dividing the batter evenly to fill all 24.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, until golden on top.
- Let cool slightly. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before topping with the coconut cream!
*NOTE: for a Vegan version simply replace eggs one for one with flax eggs. Flax egg recipe + method here.
