Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cups almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Line a small baking tray or plate with parchment paper.
  • If your peanut butter and/or honey are firm, warm them for 15 seconds in the microwave in a heat-safe container to make them easier to stir.
  • Add the ingredients except the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium bowl. Stir well with a spoon to make a batter that is evenly combined.
  • Portion out 1 tablespoon-size balls of dough using a mini ice cream scoop or measuring spoon. Form into ovals and place onto the prepared tray.
  • Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil, if using), to a heat-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Stir to make a smooth mixture.
  • Use a fork to dip and coat each peanut butter oval. Lift out with the fork, allowing the chocolate to drip off for a few seconds, then carefully place back onto the prepared tray. Add sprinkles if desired.
  • Repeat to finish the batch, then refrigerate for 20 minutes or until the chocolate has dulled in color and set. (You can speed this up by placing the tray into the freezer if desired.)

Notes

  • Store the Peanut Butter Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
  • Look for dairy-free chocolate chips from brands including Guittard, Nestle Toll House, Enjoy Life Foods, and Ghirardelli.
  • To make these even lower in added sugars, omit the chocolate coating.
