A healthy and high-protein twist on classic Reese’s Eggs, made with natural peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, and dark chocolate. These homemade treats are perfect for a guilt-free indulgence, combining creamy peanut butter with a rich chocolate coating and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter, stirred well
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 scoops (24g each) vanilla protein powder

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 bars (3-4 oz each) dark chocolate, chopped (such as Lily’s)
  • Optional: Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla protein powder. Stir well until evenly mixed. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the moisture to absorb the protein powder and firm up slightly; it should be soft but manageable.
  3. Form the Eggs: Using a small cookie scoop (about a heaping tablespoon), drop the peanut butter mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Gently press the scoops with your fingertips and shape each into an egg form. Place the sheet pan in the freezer for 15 minutes or can be left overnight to firm up completely.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each until the chocolate is melted and smooth without burning.
  5. Dip the Eggs: Dip each peanut butter egg top-side down into the melted chocolate, then flip it over using a fork to coat evenly. Lift the egg out and gently shake off excess chocolate, scraping the bottom on the side of the bowl to avoid big drips. Place the coated eggs back onto the parchment-lined pan.
  6. Decorate and Set: Drizzle extra melted chocolate over the eggs if desired and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for added flavor. Return the eggs to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
  7. Store Properly: Once set, transfer the eggs to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to keep fresh and firm until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for the healthiest option.
  • Can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • The protein powder used should be vanilla flavored to enhance the sweetness; adjust based on your taste preference.
  • Dark chocolate with a higher cacao percentage offers a richer chocolate flavor and less sugar.
  • Store the eggs in the fridge for up to one week or freezer for up to one month.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, ensure your protein powder and chocolate are plant-based.
