Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond flour, and sea salt. Blend on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until crumbly yet well combined.
  2. Take small portions of the mixture and roll into egg-shaped balls. Alternatively, flatten for cookie cutter shapes. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  3. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. Dip each chilled egg into the melted chocolate using a fork. Tap to remove excess and place back on the baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate dipped eggs for 30 minutes to allow chocolate to set completely before serving.
