INGREDIENTS

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

• Mix: In a bowl, combine peanut butter*, maple syrup, and 2 tbsp coconut flour until it reaches a sticky cookie dough consistency. Add 1 more tbsp of flour if too runny.
• Shape: Use a cookie scoop to drop tablespoon-sized portions onto a parchment-lined tray. Flatten and shape into eggs with your fingers.
• Chill: Freeze the shapes for 20–60 minutes until firm.
• Coat: Melt chocolate over low heat; let cool slightly to room temperature (if chocolate is too warm, it may melt the peanut butter). Use a fork to dip each frozen egg into the chocolate, coating evenly.
• Finish: Return to parchment, sprinkle with sea salt, and freeze for 30 minutes until hardened. Store in the fridge (or freezer for up to 3 months).

*Almond butter or cashew butter can be substituted, just be sure they are all natural with no added ingredients.
**Can substitute almond flour, but may require 1/4-1/3 cup to achieve correct consistency.
