A healthier version of the classic peanut butter cup, these gluten-free Healthy Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs are easy to make and perfect for special occasions or as a snack.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12-15 eggs

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter (look for peanut butter with only peanuts and salt)

1 + ⅓ cups + 2 tablespoons blanched almond flour

¼ cup real maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of kosher salt

12 ounces dark chocolate chips or a dark chocolate bar

1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix well until you have a smooth, thick peanut butter mixture.
  3. Using about 1.5 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture, roll it into a ball, then press it flat. Shape it into an egg about ½ to ¾ inch in thickness. Continue forming eggs until all the mixture is used. Ensure the eggs are spaced apart on the baking sheet. Freeze the eggs for 30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted. Let the melted chocolate sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  5. Remove the peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Using a fork, carefully dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off by tapping the fork on the side of the bowl. Place the dipped eggs back on the lined baking sheet.
  6. Optionally, drizzle any leftover chocolate over the eggs and sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top for an added flavor boost.
  7. Freeze the eggs for another 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate coating. Once set, enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer a sweeter coating.
  • If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, almond or cashew butter can be used as alternatives.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for extra flavor after dipping in chocolate.
  • The eggs can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer.
  • They can last up to 5 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer.
