Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. 1In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

  3. 3Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into egg shapes.
  4. 4Place the shaped peanut butter eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. 5In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  6. 6Dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out and let the excess chocolate drip off.
