Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Substitution: Use almond or cashew butter for a different nutty taste.
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour Substitution: Any nut flour works, or use coconut flour in smaller amounts.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup For vegan, use maple syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Ensure to use pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt Do not skip, as it amplifies the taste.
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Substitution: Dark chocolate chips can be used for a bolder flavor; ensure they are vegan if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil Can omit if using chocolate bars instead of chips that contain cocoa butter.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of blanched almond flour, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Process until a crumbly dough forms.
  2. Use your hands or a cookie scooper to form the filling into egg-shaped molds, about 1 inch in width. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
  4. Remove the frozen peanut butter eggs and dip each into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Place on a parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Chill the coated eggs in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes until firm.
