Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • 1 Spoon or spatula
  • 1 Cookie scoop optional
  • 1 Medium bowl
  • 1 Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ Cup Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tablespoon Almond Flour
  • ¾ Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ Teaspoon Coconut Oil
  • Maldon Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, add your natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and almond flour. Combine everything well by mixing with a spoon or a spatula. Your mixture should feel like cookie dough and should be moldable.
  • Scoop ~1 tablespoon of the dough and begin forming into little eggs. Place them on the baking sheet one-by-one and continue until you work through all your dough. Once done, place the baking sheet into the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes or until your dough is hardened.
  • Grab a small microwaveable bowl, add your chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat microwaving in 15 second increments, stirring in between until your chocolate is melted all the way through.
  • Let the chocolate slightly cool a bit the prevent the filling from melting.
  • Add your chilled eggs in one-by-one, using a fork to coat the egg in chocolate. Place back on the parchment paper and repeat until all your eggs have been coated.
  • Place the baking sheet back in the freezer for an additional 15-30 minutes or until your chocolate is hardened.
  • Once you remove your eggs from the freezer, sprinkle with some Maldon sea salt. Enjoy!

Notes

Hint: Choose a natural peanut butter with 1-2 ingredients (peanuts or peanuts and salt). Make sure that the natural peanut butter is well combined and stirred before use. A fresh jar is recommended for best outcomes. Santa Cruz is a favorite brand of mine!
