Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of protein powder until well combined. The mixture should be sticky like cookie dough. If the mixture is too runny, add additional protein powder (about 1 tablespoon). Allow dough to sit in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes to help set the dough.
-
While the dough sets, melt your chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring often until smooth consistency. Make sure to not burn the chocolate. Once chocolate is melted, cover the inside of the egg mold with chocolate. This will be your egg’s outer shell.
-
Place egg mold into the freezer to help the chocolate set quicker. Less than 5 minutes is needed.
-
Once chocolate is set, remove from the freezer and remove peanut butter filling from the fridge. Fill each egg with the filling, leaving room at the top.
-
Cover the top of each egg with a chocolate layer.
-
Place the egg molds in the freezer again for 10-15 minutes or as long as you would like until hardened.
-
Once hardened, store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat!
Tami’s notes
When mixing the filling, start by using 2 tablespoons of protein powder. If the mixture is still drippy and wet, add an additional 1 tablespoon.
If you have a peanut allergy or do not like it, feel free to use any nut butter variety- cashew, almond, or sunflower seed butter are great. This may alter the taste and nutrition.
