High Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs (Reese’s Dupe… but Better)
Creamy, chocolate-coated peanut butter eggs made with simple ingredients and a boost of protein — a better-for-you twist on the classic treat with the perfect sweet + salty balance.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup vanilla plant-based protein powder of choice - or other vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of flaky sea salt
Chocolate coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt to top
Instructions
- Mix filling until fully combined and a soft dough forms.
- 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.
- In a heatproof bowl (a glass measuring cup works great), melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- 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.
- Drizzle any extra chocolate over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Chill for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
