Vegan Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (salted) well stirred
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 10 oz dairy-free chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Place another piece of parchment paper onto a pastry board or cutting board. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup. Add the almond flour and stir to combine. Squeeze mixture with your hands to get a smooth dough.
- Transfer peanut butter mixture onto parchment-lined pastry board. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out to a ½ inch thickness. Use a 3-inch egg shaped cookie cutter to cut egg shapes.
- Place egg cutouts onto prepared baking sheet. Once all the peanut butter mixture has been used, place baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.

- Place baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set.
