Ingredients You’ll Need

• Drippy peanut butter – use natural creamy peanut butter (peanuts ± salt) without added sugar. Almond or cashew butter also work.
• Oat flour – acts as a binder. You can substitute almond flour or coconut flour if desired.
• Honey – a natural sweetener. Maple syrup or another natural sweetener can be used instead.
• Vanilla extract – adds flavor.
• Chocolate chips – choose lower-sugar chips if you prefer, or regular semi-sweet for a sweeter coating.
• Coconut oil – optional, added when melting chocolate to help form a smooth, firm shell.

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs

1. Make the peanut butter filling. In a bowl, mix oat flour, peanut butter, vanilla, and honey until smooth.
2. Shape into eggs. Use a small cookie scoop to portion and shape into eggs, or press the mixture into silicone egg molds. You can also shape by hand and place on a parchment-lined sheet. Yield: about 16 eggs.
3. Chill eggs. Freeze or refrigerate the formed eggs for 20–30 minutes until firm.
4. Melt the chocolate. Gently melt chocolate chips with a little coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
5. Dip and coat. Remove the chilled eggs and dip each one in melted chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper to set.
6. Decorate and chill. Optionally drizzle with colored chocolate and add sprinkles or a pinch of coarse sea salt. Chill in the freezer or fridge until the coating is set.

Tips for the BEST Peanut Butter Eggs

• Don’t skip chilling – firm centers hold shape and dip more cleanly.
• Use drippy peanut butter – natural, creamy peanut butter mixes smoothly and produces a silky filling.
• Use a cookie scoop – a small scoop keeps pieces uniform and speeds up assembly.
• Use a fork for dipping – a dipping fork or regular fork helps chocolate drain cleanly and keeps the process tidy.

Variations

• Gluten-free – use certified gluten-free oat flour or substitute almond or coconut flour.
• Dairy-free – dip in dairy-free chocolate.
• Vegan – replace honey with maple syrup and use vegan chocolate.
• Nut-free – swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini if avoiding peanuts.
• Extra protein – stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder, adjusting oat flour or nut butter as needed.

Prepping and Storage

To store: Keep the eggs chilled in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Line the container with parchment to prevent sticking.

To freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
