Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Whisk
- Double Boiler
- Forks
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling
- 6 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons powdered erythritol sweetener (or your preferred powdered keto sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup peanut flour or a healthier mix of 1/3 cup peanut flour and 1/3 cup whey or collagen protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Coating
- 4 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate chopped
- 1/2 ounce cocoa butter or 1 tablespoon coconut oil (coating will be a bit softer)
Instructions
- Prep Your Space: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper. This makes cleanup super easy!
- Make the Peanut Butter Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the butter and peanut butter together until smooth. Give it a good whisk. Stir in the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract until everything looks well combined.
- Create the Dough: Add the peanut flour (and protein powder, if you're using it) to the mixture. Stir until it forms a firm dough, much like cookie dough. If it feels too soft to handle, just add a tiny bit more peanut flour until it's firm enough to roll.
- Shape Your Eggs: Roll the dough into 15 small balls, each about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on your prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball into an oval "egg" shape. Pop them into the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up completely.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating: While your eggs are chilling, set up a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water (a double boiler). Add the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate and cocoa butter (or coconut oil). Stir gently until it's all melted and beautifully smooth.
- Coat the Eggs: Take the firm, frozen peanut butter eggs and carefully drop them into the melted chocolate, one by one. Use two forks to gently turn them, ensuring each egg is fully coated. Lift out each egg, tapping the fork against the side of the bowl to let any extra chocolate drip off.
- Chill and Enjoy: Place the chocolate-coated eggs back onto your baking sheet. If you have any extra melted chocolate, you can drizzle it over the eggs for a fancy touch! Place them back in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate is firm and set. Now you have delicious, healthy peanut butter eggs ready to enjoy!
Notes
