Ingredients

  • ⅔ cupnatural drippy peanut butter ((just peanuts & salt))
  • 1 tablespoonpure maple syrup
  • 2-3 tablespoonscoconut flour ((start with 2 and add if necessary))
  • 3.5 ounces72% dark chocolate bar ((vegan if desired))
  • —coarse sea salt ((optional, for sprinkling on top))

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, maple syrup and 2 tablespoons coconut flour until smooth. The peanut butter mixture should be sticky like a wet cookie dough. If your peanut butter dough looks too runny or soft, feel free to add 1 more tablespoon of coconut flour and/or pop the dough in the fridge for 10-20 minutes before forming the eggs.

  2. 2

    Use a cookie scoop to drop peanut butter mixture by the tablespoonful onto a parchment lined small baking sheet -- you should get 8 eggs total. Slightly flatten the top of each with your fingertips and form into an egg shape if you'd like. Place baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes-1 hour.

  3. 3

    Once you are ready to coat the eggs, melt the chocolate bar in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring frequently. Transfer melted chocolate to a small warm bowl.

  4. 4

    Quickly use a fork to dip each peanut butter egg into chocolate. Make sure to coat evenly. Transfer back to parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a little coarse sea salt if desired. Immediately place baking sheet back in freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour or as long as you'd like until hardened.
