A copy-cat of Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, but make it mini-batch (recipe makes only 3) and PROTEIN because why not.
The easiest little recipe with a handful of ingredients and the eggs are just as good as Reese’s I swear.
Feel free to go ahead and triple or quadruple the recipe to make more if feeding a crowd.
Use my handy slider in the recipe card below!
If you don’t have protein powder on hand, you can probably sub oat flour and adjust the amount a little.
Let me know if you give these a try!
Mini-batch Protein Peanut Butter Eggs
Servings: 3 pieces
Calories: 119kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp peanut butter, or other nut/seed butter (16 g)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder (about 15 g) plant-based if desired, I used orgain, link in recipe notes
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (45 g)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (5 g)
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix nut butter and maple syrup. Add enough protein powder to turn into a cookie dough. If this gets too dry add 1/2 tsp water at a time to combine.
- Shape into 3 eggs, freeze about 30 minutes until solid.
- In a small bowl add chocolate and coconut oil and microwave 30 sec increments, stir until all chocolate is melted.
- Using two forks, coat each egg in chocolate (there will be chocolate left to use elsewhere), set on parchment, refrigerate to set the chocolate.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Here’s a link to my goto plant-based protein powder, but any vanilla protein will work.
