4-ingredient healthy peanut butter eggs !
we’re transforming one of our favorite childhood sweet treats into a healthier version of itself. and not to toot our own horns but…these are top-notch. (toot, toot!)
INGREDIENTS
2 c. peanut butter : can sub for any nut or seed butter
full of nutrients including vitamin E, magnesium, iron, selenium, and vitamin B6. also a good source of plant-based protein.
1/2 c. maple syrup
a natural sweetener that is rich in riboflavin (B2) which helps keep our skin, eyes, and nervous system healthy.
3/4 c. coconut or almond flour
coconut flour : grain-free flour that is high in fiber, aids in digestion.
almond flour : grain-free flour rich in vitamin E, manganese and magnesium.
1 dark chocolate bar OR 1 c. chocolate chips
you can use any chocolate you like, but we prefer dark as it has the most nutrients! when you buy quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, it can be quite nutritious. this includes: iron, fiber, magnesium, copper, and manganese. it is also said to promote skin + heart health and be high in antioxidants.
INSTRUCTIONS
start by getting out a large mixing bowl and adding in your flour, peanut butter, and maple syrup. mix until combined.
line a large plate or tray with parchment paper. you may want to wet your hands slightly to avoid the mixture from sticking to them. grab about 2 tbsp worth of the mixture and create egg-shaped pieces with the peanut butter mixture.
melt your chocolate in the microwave. dip the peanut butter eggs into the chocolate until they are fully covered. take them out and place them back onto the parchment paper.
place your chocolate covered peanut butter eggs in the freezer and leave until the chocolate has firmed up.
so yummy! hope you enjoy :)
