Name: Easter Peanut Butter Egg Cups
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: 170 g peanut butter (100% natural); 50 g almond flour (sub with vegan protein for adults ); 25 g cacao powder; 60 ml coconut oil (melted); 1 tbsp maple syrup; 20 g vegan white chocolate (melted); 35 g pistachios (very finely crushed)

If you love a classic Reese’s peanut butter cup, this homemade version is going to be on repeat – especially at Easter time. It has that rich chocolate coating with a soft peanut butter centre, but made with simple pantry ingredients. These are completely no-bake, take 10 minutes to prep and store perfectly in the freezer. You can also make them with protein powder for a more filling option for adults, or swap it for almond or oat flour to keep them suitable for little ones.

The white chocolate we drizzled over them is our homemade vegan white chocolate, which adds such a nice effect if you are making these for Easter.
