Why Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs are Great for Toddlers
Kid-Friendly Activity – Shaping and dipping the eggs is a fun and engaging task for little hands, making it a perfect family bonding activity.
Simple Ingredients – With just peanut butter, maple syrup, almond or oat flour, and chocolate chips, this recipe is straightforward and uses pantry staples.
Healthier Choice – These eggs are a bit healthier than traditional store-bought versions, with natural sweeteners and the option to use allergy-friendly ingredients.
Customizable – Easily adapt the recipe to suit dietary preferences by using different nut or seed butters and choosing your preferred type of chocolate.
What You Will Need
- 1.5 cups Peanut butter- I use smooth
- 3 tbsp Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Almond or oat flour– don’t use all purpose as it isn’t meant to be eaten raw.
- 1 cup Chocolate chips- you can choose any kind you want (dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semi sweet, etc)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, and flour. Mix until smooth.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out the peanut butter mixture and roll into balls. Flatten each ball into an egg shape.
3. Place the shaped eggs in the refrigerator while you melt the chocolate.
4. Melt the chocolate chips in a pot over low heat on the stove or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
5. Using a fork, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
6. Place the coated eggs back onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Substitutions
- Peanut butter- you can use any nut or seed butter!
Storage
Store the Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, place them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, allow them to thaw slightly at room temperature.

Hi! Can I use regular flour or does it have to be almond/oat?
You can’t use normal flour because it isn’t meant to be eaten without baking (not safe).
