Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Mixture
  • 1 cup peanut butter, creamy
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, dark or semi-sweet
  • 1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil Used to create a shiny coating

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth.
  2. Form the peanut butter mixture into egg shapes by rolling 1 inch balls and flattening them into ovals with your fingers.
  3. Place the ovals on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
Coating
  1. Heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring between times until completely melted.
  2. Using two forks, coat the peanut butter eggs in the melted chocolate, letting the chocolate drip off for a few seconds.
  3. Transfer each egg to parchment paper to harden.
  4. Optional: After the chocolate has hardened for a few minutes, drizzle with more melted chocolate to make them look extra special.

Notes

Store the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to three months. To serve, pair with coffee or tea, and enjoy at room temperature or chilled.
