These Healthy Reese’s Eggs are a high-protein, deliciously satisfying treat combining natural peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, and rich dark chocolate. Perfect as a nutritious snack or dessert, they offer the classic flavors of peanut butter and chocolate with added protein and no refined sugars.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (stirred well)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 (24g) scoops vanilla protein powder

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 bars (3-4 oz each) dark chocolate, chopped (recommend Lily’s for low sugar)

Optional Toppings

  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla protein powder until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes so the protein powder absorbs moisture and firms up slightly, creating a dough that is soft but manageable.
  3. Shape the Eggs: Using a small cookie scoop (about a heaping tablespoon), drop scoops of peanut butter mixture onto the prepared pan. Gently press each scoop with your fingertips and mold it into an egg shape. Place the pan in the freezer for at least 15 minutes or overnight to firm up.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Dip the Eggs: Take each egg and dip the top-down into the melted chocolate. Then, use a fork to flip it over, lift it out, and gently shake off excess chocolate, scraping the bottom of the egg on the edge of the bowl. Set the dipped eggs back on the parchment-lined pan. If desired, drizzle with extra melted chocolate and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top while still wet.
  6. Set the Coating: Return the tray to the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set. Once firm, store the Reese’s Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for best freshness.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for a healthier option.
  • If you don’t have vanilla protein powder, you can substitute with unflavored protein powder but expect less sweetness.
  • Lily’s dark chocolate is recommended because it’s sweetened with stevia, reducing added sugars.
  • You can drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for a decorative touch.
  • Store the eggs in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer shelf life.
  • Adjust the firmness of the peanut butter mixture by adding or reducing protein powder slightly.
