How to Make Homemade Healthy Peanut Butter Eggs

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter, creamy
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup chocolate chips, dark or semi-sweet
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions:

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth.
Form the peanut butter mixture into egg shapes by rolling 1-inch balls and flattening them into ovals with your fingers.
Place the ovals on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
Next, heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave. Do this in 30-second increments, stirring between each time until completely melted.
Using two forks, coat the peanut butter eggs in the melted chocolate, letting the chocolate drip off for a few seconds.
Transfer each egg to the parchment paper to harden.
Optional: After the chocolate has hardened for a few minutes, drizzle with more melted chocolate to make them look extra special.
Refrigerate the eggs until you are ready to enjoy them.
