Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups almond flour
- 2/3 cup creamy, runny peanut butter
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life)
Instructions
- Mix the dough: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until a uniform dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the peanut butter eggs: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon-sized measuring spoon, portion out about 1 tablespoon of the dough. Slightly flatten and shape each portion into an oval or egg shape. Place each shaped piece onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until the entire dough is used.
- Chill the peanut butter eggs: Place the baking sheet with the shaped eggs into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This chilling step firms up the peanut butter eggs, making them easier to handle for dipping.
- Melt the chocolate chips: Put the dairy-free chocolate chips into a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in 3-second increments, stirring between intervals to avoid burning and ensure smooth melting.
- Coat the eggs in chocolate: Using a fork, carefully dip each chilled peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the chocolate-covered eggs back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze to set: Return the chocolate-coated eggs to the freezer for 20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens and firms up. Once set, the peanut butter eggs are ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Use creamy, runny peanut butter for the best texture and ease of mixing.
- Ensure the chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning or seizing.
- You can store the finished peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh.
- Feel free to substitute almond flour with a similar nut flour if desired, keeping in mind texture differences.
- This recipe makes approximately 12 servings based on 1 tablespoon shaped eggs.
