Ingredients
Scale
Filling Option 1
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 ½ Tablespoons maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
Filling Option 2
- ¼ cup powdered peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 pitted Medjool dates, roughly chopped
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Chocolate Coating
- 2 ½ Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 ½ Tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 8 drops liquid stevia
- 1 ½ teaspoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Make Filling (Option 1): In a medium bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, coconut flour, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Make Filling (Option 2): In a food processor, add the powdered peanut butter, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chopped Medjool dates, and sea salt. Process for about one minute, or until a cohesive ball of dough forms.
- Form Eggs: Break off pieces about 1 to 2 tablespoons in size from your chosen filling. Shape each piece into an oval egg shape by hand. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, then freeze for approximately one hour until firm.
- Make Chocolate Coating: While the eggs freeze, combine the cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, liquid stevia, and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix well until the chocolate coating is smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip Eggs: Remove the frozen peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each egg individually into the chocolate coating, ensuring they are fully covered. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. If any chocolate remains, drizzle it over the dipped eggs for decoration.
- Chill and Set: Place the dipped eggs back on the parchment paper and return them to the freezer. Let the coating harden for a few minutes. Store leftovers in the freezer and remove a few minutes before eating to allow them to soften slightly for optimal texture.
Notes
- The recipe provides two filling options based on ingredient availability or preference.
- Using a fork for dipping helps remove excess chocolate and creates a neat finish.
- Store the eggs in the freezer to keep them firm, but allow them to thaw briefly before serving for the best taste and texture.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly.
- Medjool dates add natural sweetness and help bind the dough in filling option 2.
