Calories: 198kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan chocolate (I used ½ cup white and ½ cup regular)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional see notes)
- 1 cup peanut butter (natural runny)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅔ cup old fashioned rolled oats (process into flour)
Instructions
- In a blender add the oats and process into flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl add the peanut butter and maple syrup and mix. Next add the oat flour and mix together.
- Next shape them into little egg shapes about 1 tablespoon sized anyplace on the lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer to get hard for about 10 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave in 15 second intervals. (I used 1 teaspoon coconut oil for ½ cup dark chocolate and 1 teaspoon coconut oil for ½ cup white chocolate).
- Remove the eggs from the freezer and dip them in the chocolate, (decorate with sprinkles if desired) place back on the baking sheet and in the freezer for about 5 minutes to set, then store in the fridge up to 1 week or freezer up to 3 months.
Notes
Coconut Oil: This is optional but highly recommended, It does leave a little flavor but it helps the chocolate dipping process be much more smooth. You can use refined coconut oil if you don't like the hint of flavor or you can skip it but dipping will be a little be stickier.
Chocolate: To keep these refined sugar free you will need to use Hu Chocolate or Just Date chocolate. I like those two brands and I also like Enjoy Life especially for the white chocolate which I have not found in a refined sugar free option yet, so white chocolate would not be refined sugar free.
Peanut Butter: I used natural runny peanut butter, you can use any nut or seed butter you like in these Vegan Easter Peanut Butter Eggs.
