Ingredients

Units Scale

Peanut Butter Egg Base

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well incorporated without lumps.
  2. Shape the peanut butter eggs: Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands, then flatten each ball into an oval shape resembling an egg. Try to keep the sizes uniform for even freezing and coating.
  3. Freeze the eggs: Arrange the peanut butter ovals on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, ensuring they don’t touch. Place the sheet in the freezer and chill for 30 minutes to firm up the shapes, making them easier to handle during coating.
  4. Melt the chocolate coating: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  5. Coat the peanut butter eggs: Using two forks, dip each frozen peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before transferring the coated egg back onto fresh parchment paper for setting.
  6. Optional chocolate drizzle: Once the initial chocolate coating has hardened for a few minutes, drizzle extra melted chocolate over the eggs for decorative finish and added chocolate texture.
  7. Refrigerate until ready: Place the chocolate-coated peanut butter eggs in the refrigerator to set fully. Keep them chilled until you are ready to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture; natural peanut butter may alter consistency.
  • Coconut flour absorbs moisture rapidly, so avoid adding extra liquid to maintain the right dough texture.
  • Dark chocolate chips provide a richer flavor and slightly less sugar compared to semi-sweet options.
  • Store the finished peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free and use pure maple syrup.
