A stack of four thick, round chocolate-coated peanut butter cookies is shown on a metal cooling rack placed on a white marbled surface; the top cookie has a bite taken out, revealing a dense, crumbly, bright orange peanut butter filling inside, while the shiny, dark chocolate coating on each cookie is slightly textured with a few small drizzles and sprinkled flakes of white sea salt scattered on top and around; in the background, some whole cookies slightly out of focus rest on the white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

½ cup natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons coconut flour

1½ tablespoons maple syrup

Pinch of sea salt

½ cup powdered peanut butter

¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

3 pitted Medjool dates, roughly chopped

¼ teaspoon sea salt

2½ tablespoons cocoa powder

2½ tablespoons melted coconut oil

8 drops liquid stevia

1½ teaspoons maple syrup

Instructions

Step 1: Make the filling. For option 1, combine the natural peanut butter, coconut flour, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt in a medium bowl. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 2: For filling option 2, place the unsweetened vanilla almond milk, powdered peanut butter, chopped dates, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt into a food processor. Process until a dough ball forms, about 1 minute.

Step 3: Form the eggs. Break off pieces of dough about 1 to 2 tablespoons in size and shape them into egg forms. Place the shaped eggs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and freeze for about 1 hour.

Step 4: Make the chocolate coating by mixing the cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, liquid stevia, and maple syrup in a bowl until smooth.

Step 5: Dip the frozen peanut butter eggs one at a time into the chocolate coating, using a fork to help excess chocolate drip off. If there is leftover chocolate, drizzle it over the eggs for extra decoration.

Step 6: Place the dipped eggs back onto the parchment paper and return them to the freezer to harden. They will be ready to enjoy within a few minutes.

Tips & Variations

For a nut-free version, try substituting sunflower seed butter for peanut butter in the filling.

If you prefer sweeter eggs, add a little more maple syrup or stevia to the filling or chocolate coating.

Using Medjool dates adds natural sweetness and texture, but you can use raisins or dried cherries as alternatives.

To make the eggs creamier, use slightly softened peanut butter and ensure the dates are well processed.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of natural peanut butter?

Yes, you can use regular peanut butter, but natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils will give a cleaner and healthier taste to your eggs.

What if I don’t have liquid stevia for the chocolate coating?

You can substitute liquid stevia with a small amount of maple syrup or honey, adjusting to taste to maintain the sweetness and consistency of the chocolate coating.
