Description
These no-bake, healthy peanut butter eggs are made with just five ingredients and customizable toppings — perfect for a wholesome homemade treat or holiday snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter (or almond, cashew, sunflower seed butter)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, coconut sugar, molasses)
- ¼ cup coconut flour or almond flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or avocado, olive, or sunflower oil)
- Optional Toppings: Sea salt, crushed nuts, crispy rice, graham cracker bits, or white chocolate coating
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut or almond flour. Stir until a thick, pliable dough forms.
- Shape the Eggs: Scoop small portions of the dough and form into egg shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze: Freeze the formed eggs for 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a small pot or microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Coat: Using a fork or candy dipping tool, dip each frozen egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Return to the tray and top with sea salt or other optional toppings if desired.
- Final Freeze: Freeze again for at least 30 minutes until the coating is set.
Notes
These eggs store well in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer. You can switch up the nut butter or chocolate type for endless variations. Add protein powder to the base for an extra boost.
