Easy 3 Ingredient PB Fit Peanut Butter Easter Eggs Recipe

Here’s a ridiculously easy, no-bake, 3-ingredient Easter eggs recipe that’s made with peanut butter powder (like PB Fit and PB2) and applesauce! The defatted peanut butter powder keeps this recipe low calorie and low fat. Meanwhile, the addition of applesauce provides the needed moisture and subtle sweetness to the Easter Eggs. Plus it gives these homemade treats a healthy boost of fiber and vitamins that the store-bought Reeses eggs don’t have. 

PB powder + applesauce + chocolate coating, it’s just that easy.

I think you’d enjoy making this with kids or family if you’re thinking of fun Easter Day crafts. Also, if applesauce isn’t in your pantry, you can easily substitute the applesauce with mashed bananas, cooked sweet potato or pumpkin purée. I’ve listed more variations of this recipe in this post, so check it out below!

Here’s why I love this recipe

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:

• You can use other fruit purees instead of applesauce. Try mashed bananas, cooked sweet potato, or pumpkin puree. You can also add more texture and flavor to the filling by adding nuts, seeds or flavorings. For example try:
  • Banana Chocolate Easter Eggs – sub applesauce with ripe mashed bananas. Add 1 Tbsp of cocoa powder and a handful of chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips
  • Sweet Potato Easter Eggs – use mashed sweet potato instead of applesauce. Then add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a Tablespoon of maple syrup (this helps to sweeten and add some moisture, since sweet potato is thicker than applesauce).
  • Pumpkin Spice Easter Eggs – use pumpkin purée instead of applesauce, then add a teaspoon of pumpkin spice powder.

• If you’re allergic to peanuts you can also use almond butter powder instead here is one brand I like to use. I’ve used it before to make my vegan 2-ingredient almond butter frosting!
• Also, feel free to experiment with natural flavoring / extracts. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (I didn’t feel like it was essential so I left it out in this recipe), or other flavorings or extracts, such as almond extract

Just keep in mind that some extracts contain alcohol, and since this is a no-bake recipe, the alcohol won’t have a chance to fully evaporate. If serving this to kids, or if you’re sensitive to alcohol, be sure to use non-alcoholic extracts or flavorings. Here are some non-alcoholic brands, here: non-alcoholic vanilla extract

How to Make this Healthier

• Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, seeds and old-fashioned oats to add texture and nutrition. Even better, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, or chia seeds. What to do with leftover chocolate

Final Tips

• For a creamier mouthfeel, add more applesauce to control the consistency of the filling. The dough may be a little difficult to handle the creamier they are, but they’re more manageable once they’re cooled in the fridge.
• Sometimes I like to add a teaspoon or two of coconut oil to the melted chocolate. This helps to thin out the chocolate so that we get an even, glossy coating on the Easter eggs. It also helps to cut down on the amount of chocolate that gets on the eggs, too.

What Can You Do with Leftover Melted Chocolate?

It’s always a good idea to melt a little more chocolate than you need so that you can ensure proper coating, but what do you do with the leftover melted chocolate? Melted chocolate hardens in cold water, so it makes it a pain to clean if there’s a lot left over. Here’s what I do when that happens. Stir in chopped nuts or seeds to make nut/seed clusters! All you have to do afterward is drop spoonfuls of this chocolate-nut-seed mixture and let it harden. It’s one of my favorite snacks to eat when I’m craving something unhealthy but feeling deserving of something indulgent 🙂
