- Peanut Butter Powder - PB powder is made by removing most of the oil from roasted peanuts and grinding them into a fine powder, resulting in a low-fat, high-protein alternative to traditional peanut butter. You can use brands like PB Fit, or PB2. I used a Sugar Free PB FIt powder for this recipe
- Greek Yogurt - I used Fage 0% Unsweetened Greek Yogurt
- Chocolate Chips - you can use any chocolate chips in this recipe. I like this lower sugar, stevia-sweetened brand

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:
- You can use other add ins instead of Greek Yogurt. Try applesauce, 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:
- Applesauce Easter Eggs - sub greek yogurt with applesauce! Recipe link HERE
- Banana Easter Eggs - made using ripe mashed bananas! The ratio of the peanut butter powder to bananas are different, so check out this recipe HERE
- Pumpkin Spice Easter Eggs – use pumpkin purée instead of Greek Yogurt, then add a teaspoon of pumpkin spice powder. Recipe HERE

- 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
How to Customize Your Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
- 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.
- If you're looking to make them fun and festive, you can also add rainbow (confetti) sprinkles, like below!

How to Store Greek Yogurt & Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
- Store these Peanut butter easter eggs covered in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
- You can also freeze these Easter eggs in an air tight container or freezer bag. They’ll be will be good up to three months.
Final Tips
- You can always control the consistency of the filling by adding more or less peanut butter powder. The filling 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.
