Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • ½ Cup Cashew Butter You can swap for any nut butter or Sunbutter.
  • ⅓ Cup Maple Syrup
  • 6 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
  • 1+½ Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Salt

Chocolate

  • 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips You can also use white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips!
  • 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil This is optional but makes the chocolate thinner and easier for dipping.

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the cashew butter, maple syrup, coconut flour, vanilla extract, and salt into a small bowl. Use a spatula to fold together until a thick dough forms.
  • Place the nut butter filling in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before shaping. This will allow the dough to firm up.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to add about 9-10 scoops onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. A large wood board will work too! Gently press each ball into the classic egg shape.
  • Refrigerate the eggs for another 15 minutes to set while you melt the chocolate. Melt in 20-30 second increments in the microwave or you can use the double boiler method.
  • Finally, dip each egg in the melted chocolate using a fork. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on the parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate the eggs until the chocolate has set. Store in the refrigerator or freezer!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Heat the chocolate chips with about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in 20-30 second increments in the microwave to prevent burning the chocolate. Stir between each time.
  • Use a fork to dip the eggs into the chocolate to allow excess chocolate to drip off into the bowl.
  • Chill the eggs in the refrigerator or freezer so they don't bend while you're dipping them in the warm chocolate.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
They will last about 4-5 days in the refrigerator or up to a month in the freezer!
