• 2 tablespoons Moringa Powder
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup
• Cacao Powder (optional)

Chocolate Green Nut Butter Cups

Ingredients:

• 80g dark chocolate (I used 80% cacao)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cashew butter
• 3 teaspoon honey
• 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon moringa powder
• Handful of goji berries for decoration (optional)

Instructions: 

1.  Line a mini muffin tin with small cupcake liners
2. Melt the chocolate over a low heat in a saucepan and pour about 1 tablespoon into the bottom of each cupcake liner, to thinly cover the bottom. Tilt so the chocolate goes up the sides slightly. Make sure you only use half the chocolate mixture for this step. Place these in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set
3. Meanwhile, make the filling. Add the cashew butter, maple syrup, honey, sea salt and moringa powder to a small bowl and whisk well until fully combined
4. Remove from the freezer and place about 1 teaspoon of the nut butter filling over the chocolate in each liner
5. Pour enough of the chocolate mixture over the filling to cover it completely. Sprinkle with a couple of goji berries
6. Return to the freezer for at least 15 minutes until completely hardened (about 30 minutes)
7. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freezer for much longer.

Pumpkin Seed Moringa Cupcakes

Ingredients:

Cupcakes

• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup tapioca flour
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tsp moringa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, plus more for greasing muffin molds
• 1/2 cup honey

Frosting

• 1/2 cup palm shortening, at room temperature
• 2 tbsps. honey
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Melted chocolate and pumpkin seeds, for topping

 Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a silicone muffin pan with coconut oil, or line a muffin tin with parchment liners.
2. Pulse the coconut flour, tapioca flour, pumpkin seeds, moringa powder, baking soda, and salt in a food processor until the pumpkin seeds are ground into a fine meal.
3. Add the eggs, oil, honey and puree until smooth.
4. Spoon into the cups of the silicone mold or muffin tin, then place in the preheated oven. Reduce the heat to 350° F, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a tester inserted comes out clean, then set aside to cool.
5. To make the frosting, whip the shortening, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Fit a pastry bag with a coupler and tip (I used a Wilton No. 233 Multi-Opening Decorating Tip), then load the frosting into the pastry bag. Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe the frosting on top in the design of your choice.
