Easy peanut butter Easter eggs are a natural version of the popular Easter treat. Made with just four ingredients (natural peanut butter, molasses, coconut flour and good, dark chocolate).

  • Author: Crosby’s Molasses
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 20 eggs 1x
  • Category: Candy & Sweet Treats

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2/3 cup all natural peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Crosby’s Fancy Molasses
  • 12 Tbsp. coconut flour
  • 150 g dark chocolate*
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl blend the peanut butter, molasses and coconut flour to create a dough. It should be stiff enough that you can gather it into a ball with your hands.
  2. Using a half tablespoon measure, scoop the dough into the spoon and press it firmly until the edge is flat.  Nudge it out with your thumb, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and press one side to create an egg shape.
  3. Set in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  4. While the eggs are chilling, melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
  5. Working quickly, drop one egg at a time into the chocolate. Lift it out with a fork, flat side down, and place back on the cold baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with decorations. (The chocolate will set quickly.)
  6. Store in the fridge or a cool place.

 

*You won’t use all of the chocolate but you’ll need the melted chocolate to be deep enough to dip.

    Just made these and needed to add about 1/2 cup of coconut flour and still too runny so I added 1/2 cup of icing sugar. They’re delish!

    I just made these with milk chocolate.
    You could use any nut butter or sunflower butter.
    I buzzed up some unsweetened coconut in my spice grinder to make coconut flour.
    I used some icing in a tube to put our initial on each and some silver balls to make them look festive. Can’t believe we haven’t any sprinkles!
    Really nice recipe, thanks!

      Hi Ruth, Thank you for all of the tips, especially the suggestion to make your own coconut flour. I’ll add them to the recipe :)

    These sound really good, just idea for Easter. Just one question, can I pulverize my sweeten coconut to make the flour?

      Hi Paddy, Yes, you could try the recipe with pulverized sweetened coconut, especially since you don’t need much. Given the sugar in the coconut you might not need the molasses. Might want to taste the mixture first before adding extra sweetener.

        Hi Vivian, You could try ground almonds, icing sugar (taste mixture for sweetness as you add it bit by bit) or powdered milk. These are just a few ideas that come to mind off the bat.
