High Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Filling

• 1 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
• 1 cup almond flour
• ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (plant-based or any you love)
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of flaky sea salt

Chocolate Coating

• 1 cup Hu Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
• Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine:

• peanut butter
• almond flour
• protein powder
• maple syrup
• vanilla extract
• sea salt

Mix until fully combined and a soft dough forms.

2. Shape the Eggs

Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons), scoop and shape into egg forms.

Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill for about 30 minutes, until firm.

3. Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl (a glass measuring cup works great), melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

4. Coat the Eggs

Dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate.

Use a fork to lift it out, gently tapping off excess chocolate, then place back on parchment paper.

5. Finish + Set

Drizzle any extra chocolate over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Chill for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

My Tips

• Use a vanilla protein powder you actually like — it makes a difference
• If your mixture feels too thick, add a little more maple syrup or peanut butter
• Chill before dipping for the easiest coating
• Flaky sea salt on top takes these to the next level
