Easy 3 Ingredient PB Fit Easter Eggs with Applesauce Recipe

Introduction

These Easy 3 Ingredient PB Fit Easter Eggs are a delightful and healthier twist on a classic treat. With just powdered peanut butter, applesauce, and chocolate chips, you can whip up a creamy, fudgy snack perfect for Easter or anytime you crave a sweet bite.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (about 4 oz)
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: Mix 1 1/4 cup of the powdered peanut butter with all of the applesauce in a bowl until combined.
2. Step 2: Check the consistency. For a thicker, fudgier filling, add the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter powder. For creamier texture, keep as is.
3. Step 3: Divide the mixture into 8 pieces. Roll each into a ball, then slightly flatten to create an egg shape. If the mixture is too soft, chill in the fridge until firm enough to shape.
4. Step 4: Place the shaped eggs in the fridge or freezer to cool until firm enough for coating.
5. Step 5: While the eggs chill, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave using 20 second bursts, stirring between each until smooth.
6. Step 6: Dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate to coat completely.
7. Step 7: Optional: drizzle extra melted chocolate over the coated eggs for decoration. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
8. Step 8: Enjoy your homemade PB Fit Easter eggs!

Tips & Variations

• If you prefer a sweeter filling, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to the peanut butter mixture.
• Use dark or milk chocolate chips depending on your taste preference.
• To make shaping easier, chill the peanut butter mixture first to firm it up.
• Try rolling the eggs in crushed nuts or shredded coconut before chilling for added texture.

Storage

Store the peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month. Let thaw briefly at room temperature before serving. Reheating is not necessary.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?

Regular peanut butter will change the texture and fat content, so this recipe is best with powdered peanut butter for a lighter, fudgier consistency.

Is unsweetened applesauce necessary?

Unsweetened applesauce helps keep the filling moist without adding extra sugar. You can use sweetened applesauce, but reduce or omit any additional sweeteners in the recipe.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Peanut Butter Filling

• 1 1/2 cups powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (about 4 oz)

Chocolate Coating

• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Mix Peanut Butter and Applesauce: In a bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of powdered peanut butter and all of the unsweetened applesauce. Stir until well blended to create a smooth peanut butter filling.
2. Adjust Consistency: Check the mixture’s texture. For a thicker, fudgier consistency, add the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered peanut butter. For a creamier texture, keep it as is.
3. Shape the Eggs: Divide the dough mixture into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then gently flatten them to form egg shapes. If the mixture feels too soft to shape, chill it in the fridge until firm enough.
4. Chill the Eggs: Place the shaped peanut butter eggs in the fridge or freezer to cool and harden, making them easier to coat with chocolate.
5. Melt Chocolate: While the eggs chill, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
6. Coat Eggs in Chocolate: Dip each chilled peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Optionally, drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for decoration.
7. Set the Chocolate: Let the chocolate-coated eggs sit until the chocolate sets and hardens, which can be expedited by placing them back in the fridge.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has fully set, your PB Fit Easter Eggs are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

• If the peanut butter filling is too soft to shape, chilling it in the fridge will firm it up nicely.
• You can customize with milk, dark, or white chocolate chips based on your preference.
• Store the finished eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
• These treats are naturally lower in fat compared to traditional peanut butter eggs due to the powdered peanut butter.
• Use unsweetened applesauce to keep the sugar content minimal.
