![]() ![]() I bet you a giant chocolate Easter bunny that you’ll never go back to the original again (OK not really, but, you catch my drift. Make a batch of these PB eggs and see for yourself. However, I’d like to think I’ve turned a new leaf and no longer indulge in “cheap candy.” Instead, I make my own and must say it’s way better than the super processed junk both in flavor, freshness and health. (Thanks, Ma!) And everyone knows peanut butter eggs are where it’s at. Growing up my sister and I always had candy on hand during Easter, making it one of the holidays most prone to sugar highs. And what better way to celebrate than with chocolate (and peanut butter)? See! I do know what’s going on! Tell John he’s concerned…Īfter making the Peanut Buter M&Ms last week (by the way, a MUST try) I couldn’t resist testing a recipe for peanut butter eggs. This post contains affiliate links and is sponsored by LIV Body.I may have lost my mind with all of this chocolate peanut butter business lately, but I haven’t forgotten that it’s almost Easter. Hope you enjoy these Collagen Peanut Butter Eggs! Leftovers will keep in the fridge at least a week in an airtight container. The nutrition is for the dairy-free, gluten-free version! For dairy free, I would suggest Pascha white chocolate or Hu dark chocolate. For sugar-free, I recommend Lily's dark chocolate or Lily's white chocolate. You can easily make these sugar free or dairy free deepening on the type of chocolate you use. ![]() If using concentrated drops, please refer to the brand-specific conversion chart! If using one that measures 1:1 like sugar, you may need a little more to get the desired sweetness. However, you can use whatever sweetener you like, such as erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, allulose, or stevia. I used Pyure organic stevia blend in this recipe, a sweetener that's twice as sweet as sugar with no aftertaste. If it's super drippy and not creamy, either use less or add a little coconut flour to thicken into a soft dough. You can also use natural sunflower seed butter if allergic to peanuts! You can also try almond butter, cashew butter, or tahini - just keep in mind the thicker the nut butter the more water you'll need to add. I recommend a natural creamy peanut butter for this recipe with no added sugar. Feel free to use another unflavored collagen powder. I would start with half as much (30 grams) and add more protein, coconut flour or water as needed to get a mixture that's not too runny, sticky, or crumbly. I do not suggest swapping the exact same amount of whey or vegan protein powder in this recipe. This means these eggs might not be the best post-workout treat, especially being higher in fat.

It's virtually flavorless, easy to mix in, and even more satiating that whey protein, studies show. On the flip side, the classic is a delicious treat to enjoy in moderation after a real meal.įor this recipe, I used LIV Body Marine Collagen in the unflavored variety. a treat that acts more as a satisfying snack. My Collagen Peanut Butter Eggs are higher in protein, lower in sugar, gluten-free and easily made dairy-free (just use dairy-free chocolate!) I honestly can't taste much difference between these and the classic.ĭid you know? Protein is the most satiating macronutrient! When you add protein to baked goods, you make something that keeps you full a lot longer. My favorite Easter (Resurrection Day) treat is Reese's peanut butter eggs! I enjoyed some of the classic then decided to make these Collagen Peanut Butter Eggs as a healthier protein-added version. ![]()
