Creating Chocolate Blueberry Bites is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners or grease it lightly.
2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and salt until well blended.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to break them.
7. Scoop into Pan: Divide the mixture evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each one about three-quarters full.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft.
9. Cool: Allow them to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a pinch of sea salt while they are still warm.
These steps will guide you to a delicious batch of Chocolate Blueberry Bites that everyone will love!
