Keto Peanut Butter Eggs

I always looked forward to Reese’s peanut butter eggs hitting the shelves come the beginning of the year. They’re one of those seasonal treats that just hit differently compared to regular peanut butter cups. The shape matters! But if you’ve ever looked at the ingredient label on a Reese’s peanut butter egg, you’d be surprised at what’s inside—so much sugar and unnecessary additives. That’s why I love making my own homemade keto peanut butter eggs with only 4 simple ingredients.

In my opinion, the homemade version is even better. The peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio is just right, with a thicker, creamier peanut butter center and a high-quality chocolate shell that melts in your mouth. Plus, by making them keto-friendly, you get all the flavor you love without the sugar crash. These keto peanut butter eggs are my go-to treat during the Easter season, and I know you’ll love them too!

Homemade Peanut Butter Eggs Ingredients

Peanut Butter

Using unsweetened, creamy peanut butter is key to keeping this recipe low in carbs. Look for a natural peanut butter with no added sugar or hydrogenated oils. The peanut butter provides the rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture we all love.

Butter

Softened butter adds richness and helps bind the peanut butter filling together. It also enhances the creamy texture, making the filling taste indulgent and smooth.

Powdered Sugar-Free Sweetener

A powdered or confectioner’s keto-friendly sweetener (I used an erythritol monk fruit blend) is used to sweeten the peanut butter mixture without adding unnecessary carbs. You can also use regular powdered sugar if you don’t need them to be keto or sugar free. Using a powdered sweetener instead of granulated ensures the filling is smooth and creamy.

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

Melted sugar-free chocolate chips create the perfect chocolate shell around each peanut butter egg. Look for a brand that uses keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit. Dark chocolate varieties work especially well for a rich, deep flavor.

How to Make Them

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sweetener until a thick dough forms. If the mixture feels too soft, add a little more powdered sweetener until you reach the right consistency.

Step 2: Shape the Eggs

Divide the peanut butter dough into six equal portions and shape each one into an egg shape. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 15 minutes. Chilling the peanut butter eggs helps them hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.

Step 3: Coat in Chocolate

Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in between intervals to prevent burning. Once smooth, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Place them back on the parchment paper and let them set in the fridge.

Step 4: Enjoy!

Once the chocolate hardens, your healthy peanut butter eggs are ready to enjoy! Store them in the fridge or freezer for a quick grab-and-go keto snack.

How to Make These Dairy-Free

To make these homemade peanut butter eggs dairy-free, simply swap the butter for a vegan butter alternative, and make sure to use dairy free chocolate chips. This achieves the same taste and texture without using any dairy-based ingredients.

How to Make Them Peanut-Free

If you have a peanut allergy or just prefer a different nut butter, you can easily swap the peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter. Just make sure to use an unsweetened variety to keep the carb count low.
