Servings: 12 chocolate covered eggs
Calories: 171kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter see notes
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup almond flour see notes
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon canola oil or coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix almond butter, maple syrup, and almond flour in a medium-sized bowl. Mix until a smooth, moldable dough forms; it shouldn’t be too sticky or wet.
- Use a tablespoon-sized scooper to portion the dough.
- Form the dough into an egg shape using your hands. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes, if the dough hasn’t gotten too soft from working with it. Do not put them in the freezer!
- Melt chocolate with oil in the microwave for a minute. Stir and reheat in additional 10-second increments, if needed.
- Dip the almond butter eggs into the melted chocolate. Let any additional melted chocolate drip off and then place them onto a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper.
- Drizzle additional chocolate over the eggs. You can also add sprinkles or other decorations at this point.
- Return to the freezer to let the chocolate harden for 30 minutes to an hour. Then you can transfer them to an airtight container or individually wrap them and store them in the refrigerator.

Storage: Once the chocolate shell hardens in the freezer, transfer the eggs to an airtight container or individually wrap them and store them in the refrigerator. These chocolate eggs should last a week or 2 in the fridge.
Allergy-Friendly Swaps: Use your favorite nut or seed butter instead of the almond butter. Cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, and tahini are all great options. Replace the almond flour with coconut flour or homemade oat flour.
