I know that most of us enjoy the classic chocolate peanut butter eggs around Easter like my Copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs recipe. These Peanut Butter Robin Eggs are so much fun to make and almost too cute to eat! They look so realistic and will definitely impress your friends and family! If you have kids they will go crazy for these as well of course.

The filling is made with simple healthier ingredients and the white chocolate is naturally dyed with blue spirulina and matcha powder. Superfood powders really do add such a gorgeous color pop and make these eggs look amazing! The speckles are made by mixing black cocoa powder and water and then splattering with a brush, which is pretty impressive right? They may look complicated to make but are very simple and require no baking for an easy Easter treat.

What you will need

Peanut Butter – You will want to make sure to use a creamy peanut butter that has no added sugars or oils. If you can’t have peanut butter, you can absolutely substitute with almond or sunflower seed butter!

Maple Syrup – This is one of the sweeteners we will use to sweeten the peanut butter filling. I love using maple syrup in my recipes because it is not heavily processed like most sweeteners.

Powdered Monk Fruit – I like to use a little bit of powdered monk fruit for the classic sweet peanut butter taste that you get from a Reese’s egg. You can substitute with powdered sugar as well.

Coconut Flour – This helps to thicken the filling and absorb some of the oil so it’s easier to mold into cute eggs shapes. I don’t recommend trying to substitute this with another flour.

Df White Chocolate Chips – It’s hard to find a completely refined sugar free dairy free white chocolate but I like the brand Enjoy Life because it is free from the top allergens.

Coconut Oil – We will use a little coconut oil to melt with the white chocolate so it thins out more for dipping.

Blue Spirulina – This is what will give the eggs that pretty blue color like real robin eggs. You can also use a natural blue food coloring if you don’t have blue spirulina.

Matcha Powder – adding a touch of matcha makes the color of the white chocolate a more blueish-green. You can also use a touch of natural green food coloring instead.

Cocoa Powder – I like to use black cocoa powder for a dark color like this one here. You can use regular cocoa powder too but the speckles will look more brown.

Filtered Water – We will mix the cacao powder with some water to dip a paint brush in for making the speckles on the robin eggs.

How to make the peanut butter robin eggs

Make the Peanut Butter Filling

First in a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, coconut flour, and powdered monk fruit or sugar.(It helps to sift the coconut flour and powdered monk fruit through a strainer.)

When the peanut butter mixture is thick, divide it into 12 balls and form into egg shapes. Then, place the peanut butter eggs on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and set in the freezer for at least 1 hour.

Melt and Color the Chocolate

To make the robin egg colored chocolate, first melt the white chocolate chips with 2 tsp coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second increments.(You can also use a double boiler.) When the chocolate is completely melted, add the blue spirulina powder and matcha powder and whisk very well. the color should look like a slightly greenish blue like an actual robin egg.

Take the peanut butter eggs out of the freezer and the using a fork dip each egg in the chocolate and use a spoon to pour over the chocolate evenly and then place the egg back on the parchment paper to set. (This method helps to keep the shape of the egg.)

Make the Egg Speckles

In a small bowl, whisk the black cocoa powder and filtered water. Dip the paint brush in the cocoa water and then run your finger over the brush by the eggs to flick and make speckles on the eggs.(This might take some practice and be sure to put a large towel underneath the space your making them on because it gets a little messy!)

When you are done adding speckles on the eggs let them set for a few minutes to dry. Cut off any access chocolate around the bottom of the eggs and then store in an air tight container. Enjoy the eggs within 1 week for best flavor and texture!
