To make the Peanut Butter Egg Recipe you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 ¼ cups peanut butter, ¼ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup powdered sugar, ⅓ cup almond flour, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Divide the peanut butter mixture into 2-tablespoon portions. Using your hands, roll each portion into a ball, then shape the ball into an egg-shaped oval. Arrange the peanut butter eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze while you prepare the chocolate coating.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add 8 ounces white chocolate and 2 teaspoons coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Whisk in ½ teaspoon blue spirulina and ¼ teaspoon matcha powder. Adjust as desired. Pour the colored chocolate into a tall measuring jug or drinking glass.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside.
Insert a toothpick into the bottom of an egg, then dip it into melted colored chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Wait until the white chocolate is mostly hardened, then place the egg back on the parchment paper and carefully remove the toothpick. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
To create speckles, dip a pastry brush in a cocoa powder and water mixture. Hold it about 8 inches above the eggs and flick the tip to apply speckles. Wear an apron, as it can get messy! Refrigerate until the chocolate dries, about 10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! Store the peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze them for up to 4 months.
