Ingredients
-
1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
-
1/3 cup coconut flour
-
1/4 cup maple syrup
-
1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
-
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
-
Make the filling:
In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup until smooth and dough-like. -
Shape the eggs:
Roll about 1-inch balls, then flatten and shape into small oval “egg” shapes.
Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. -
Freeze:
Freeze the shaped eggs for 30 minutes so they firm up for dipping. -
Prepare the chocolate coating:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
Let cool about 5 minutes (so it doesn’t melt the peanut butter). -
Coat the eggs:
Using two forks, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate.
Let excess chocolate drip off, then place on parchment to harden. -
Optional decoration:
After the coating sets slightly, drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for a pretty finish. -
Chill:
Refrigerate the eggs until completely set. Enjoy!
Notes
-
Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest filling.
-
If the mixture feels too soft, add 1–2 tsp more coconut flour.
-
If it’s too firm, add 1–2 tsp more maple syrup or peanut butter.
-
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly to avoid melting the filling.
-
Dark chocolate makes them richer, while semi-sweet gives a classic candy flavor
