Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (stirred well)
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 (24g) scoops vanilla protein powder
Chocolate Coating
- 2 (3-4 oz) bars dark chocolate (chopped, I used Lily’s)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy transfer of the peanut butter eggs.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla protein powder. Let the mixture sit for 1 to 2 minutes so the moisture absorbs the protein powder, making the mixture firm but still slightly soft to handle.
- Shape the Eggs: Using a small cookie scoop (about a heaping tablespoon), drop the peanut butter mixture onto the prepared sheet. Gently press each scoop down with fingertips and shape into an egg form. Place the sheet pan in the freezer for 15 minutes or longer (overnight if preferred) to firm up the eggs.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in 30-second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Eggs in Chocolate: Dip each peanut butter egg top-down into the melted chocolate, then use a fork to flip it over. Lift the egg out, shake off excess chocolate gently, and scrape the bottom on the side of the bowl for a clean finish. Place the dipped eggs back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, drizzle extra melted chocolate over each egg and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Set the Chocolate: Return the dipped eggs to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set properly. Once set, store the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, use natural peanut butter with no added sugars or oils.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
- Vanilla protein powder adds a nutritional boost, but you can use any flavor or omit it if desired.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate (like Lily’s) for a rich and less sweet coating.
- Storing the eggs in the freezer keeps them firm longer; refrigeration works for short-term storage.
- To speed up the process, chilling the peanut butter mixture in the fridge before shaping also helps.
