Ingredients

½ cup natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of sea salt
½ cup powdered peanut butter
¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3 pitted medjool dates, roughly chopped
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder
2 ½ tablespoons melted coconut oil
8 drops of liquid stevia
1 ½ teaspoons maple syrup

Instructions

Step 1: Choose your filling method. For option one, combine peanut butter, coconut flour, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt in a medium bowl. Stir until a dough forms.
Step 2: For option two, place almond milk, powdered peanut butter, chopped dates, and sea salt into a food processor. Process until a ball of dough forms, about one minute.
Step 3: Break off pieces of dough about 1 to 2 tablespoons in size. Shape each piece into an egg form and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Freeze for about one hour.
Step 4: Prepare the chocolate coating by mixing cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, liquid stevia, and maple syrup in a bowl until smooth.
Step 5: Remove the frozen peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each egg into the chocolate to coat it fully, letting excess chocolate drip off. If any chocolate remains, drizzle it over the eggs.
Step 6: Place the dipped eggs back on the parchment paper and return them to the freezer to harden. They will be ready to enjoy within a few minutes.

Tips & Variations

For extra texture, add chopped nuts or seeds into the filling dough before freezing.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or stevia to your taste.
Use dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.

Storage

Store leftover peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the freezer. They keep well for up to two weeks. When ready to eat, remove them a few minutes beforehand to thaw slightly—they soften quickly and are best enjoyed within 1 to 2 minutes of thawing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of natural?

Natural peanut butter works best for this recipe because it has no added sugars or oils, which helps the dough hold together and keeps the flavor clean. Regular peanut butter may make the filling too oily or sweet.

Do I have to freeze the eggs, or can I refrigerate them?

Freezing is recommended to help the eggs maintain their shape and to harden the chocolate coating properly. Refrigerating may not achieve the same firmness, and the eggs could become too soft to handle.

½ cup powdered peanut butter
3 pitted medjool dates, roughly chopped

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 natural peanut butter, coconut flour, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until a dough forms.
Make filling option 2: In a food processor, combine unsweetened vanilla almond milk, powdered peanut butter, chopped medjool dates, and sea salt. Process for about 1 minute or until a ball of dough forms.
Form eggs: Break off pieces of dough about 1-2 tablespoons in size and shape each into an egg form. Place the shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and freeze for approximately 1 hour until firm.
Make chocolate coating: In a bowl, mix together cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, liquid stevia, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined for dipping.

Notes

You can choose between two types of filling depending on your preference or ingredients on hand.
Freezing the eggs before dipping helps the chocolate coating harden quickly.
Store leftover eggs in the freezer to keep them fresh and maintain their shape.
These eggs thaw quickly and are best enjoyed shortly after removing from the freezer to maintain texture.
Using powdered peanut butter in filling option 2 reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor.
