Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Cookie scoop
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 2 - 4 tbsp oat flour
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting chips or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Mix the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl with a rubber scraper.
  • Next, whisk in the oat flour to create a cookie dough like texture.
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, using your hands, roll the dough into 1” balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Flatten the balls with your palm and then shape them into eggs.
  • Then, place the baking sheet with flattened dough in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  • After the dough has firmed up, take them out and set aside.
  • Now, let's prepare the chocolate. Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring between each.
  • Dunk the flattened dough into the melted dark chocolate. You may need to use two forks to gently toss the egg around to get it fully coated. Then, put it back on the parchment paper, drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
  • Let harden (in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process) and enjoy!

Notes

Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 1 week or freeze for up to 5 months.
Depending on the consistency of the peanut butter you use, you may need to use more or less oat flour. You want the dough to have a cookie dough like texture.
You can substitute the oat flour with almond flour or coconut flour. I advise against all purpose, however, because the taste isn't super enjoyable raw.
