Healthy 6 ingredient Reeses Eggs

Ingredients:

• 2 cups pitted dates (soaked in warm water until soft)

• 1 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it’s unsweetened)

• 1/4 cup oat flour

• 3 tablespoons maple syrup

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 1 cup dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher for best results)

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions:

1. Soak the Dates:

   • Begin by soaking your 2 cups of pitted dates in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they soften. This will make the dates easier to blend into a smooth filling.

2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling:

   • Drain the soaked dates and place them in a food processor. Blend until smooth, forming a sticky paste. Add 1 cup of natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup of oat flour, and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup. Process until everything is well combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick but pliable.

3. Shape the Eggs:

   • Scoop out small portions of the peanut butter mixture (about 2 tablespoon per egg) and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball with your hands into the shape of an egg. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

4. Chill the Peanut Butter Eggs:

   • Put the shaped peanut butter eggs in the freezer to chill for 1 hour. This helps them firm up so they hold their shape when you dip them in chocolate.

5. Melt the Chocolate Coating:

   • While the eggs chill, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt 1 cup of dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

6. Dip the Eggs in Chocolate:

   • Once the peanut butter eggs are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift the egg out, letting the excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.

7. Set the Chocolate:

   • Return the chocolate-coated eggs to the fridge for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set.

Tips & Variations:

• Add a Pinch of Sea Salt: For a sweet and salty combo, sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt on top of each chocolate-coated egg before the chocolate sets.

• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon to the peanut butter mixture for a cozy flavor twist.

• Vegan Option: Ensure your chocolate is dairy-free to make the recipe vegan-friendly, and use maple syrup to keep everything plant-based.

• Mini Eggs: For bite-sized treats, shape the mixture into smaller rounds, perfect for snacking!
