Ingredients You’ll Need

• Drippy peanut butter – use natural creamy peanut butter (just peanuts and salt) for a smooth texture. Almond butter or cashew butter can be used instead if preferred.
• Oat flour – acts as the binder in the filling. Almond flour or coconut flour are suitable alternatives.
• Honey – naturally sweetens the filling. Pure maple syrup or another natural sweetener works too.
• Vanilla extract – for flavor.
• Chocolate chips – choose a lower-sugar option if you want, or use regular semi-sweet chocolate for a sweeter shell.
• Coconut oil – optional, added when melting chocolate to help create a smooth, sturdy shell.

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs

1. Make the peanut butter filling. In a bowl, combine oat flour, peanut butter, vanilla, and honey. Mix with a spatula or electric mixer until a smooth dough forms.
2. Shape into eggs. Use a small cookie scoop or form with your hands to shape the mixture into small egg shapes. Silicone egg molds work well for uniform shapes: press the mixture into each cavity, cover, and chill. If forming by hand, place shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Expect about 16 eggs.
3. Chill the eggs. Place the shaped eggs on a baking sheet or in molds in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until firm.
4. Melt the chocolate. Melt chocolate chips with a little coconut oil in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
5. Dip and coat. Remove the peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Using a dipping fork or a regular fork, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
6. Decorate and chill. Optionally drizzle with colored white chocolate or sprinkle with decorations while the coating is still wet. Chill the dipped eggs in the freezer until the chocolate is set.

Tips for the Best Peanut Butter Eggs

• Don’t skip chilling – it helps the peanut butter centers firm up so they hold their shape when dipped.
• Use creamy natural peanut butter – this keeps the filling smooth and easy to mix.
• Use a cookie scoop – a small scoop ensures uniform size and makes shaping quick and easy.
• Use a fork for dipping – a dipping fork or regular fork makes coating cleaner and lets excess chocolate drip off easily.

Variations

• Gluten-free – use certified gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, or coconut flour.
• Dairy-free – choose dairy-free chocolate chips for coating.
• Vegan – swap honey for pure maple syrup and use vegan chocolate chips.
• Nut-free – replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
• Extra protein – fold in a scoop of vanilla protein powder, adjusting oat flour or nut butter as needed.

Prepping and Storage

To store: Keep the eggs cold in a sealed, airtight container. They will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Line the container with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

To freeze: Store the eggs in the freezer for up to 3 months. They thaw quickly once removed from the freezer—about 20–30 minutes to reach a perfect texture for eating.
