They're each in an egg shape with a thick coat of dark chocolate on the outside, a drizzle raised on top with flakey sea salt. The inside texture is fluffy, soft, smooth, and a caramel brown color from the peanut butter.

These Healthy Reese’s Eggs are gluten free, vegan, and high protein. They’re incredibly easy to make, needing only three ingredients, and some patience while they set in the freezer. Once you take a bite with the rich chocolate coating and fluffy, sweet, and salty peanut butter center, you’ll forget all about the store-bought Reese’s Eggs!

I make these Healthy Reese’s Eggs every year around this time and they are always a huge hit! This honestly might be one of the recipes that my friends and family request or remake the most. Consider this an OG recipe that never gets old and with such a classic flavor combo and childhood treat, how could it? Anything chocolate and peanut butter— count me in. These are one of my favorite treats! I actually love keeping my freezer stocked with them all year round. This recipe is based off of my Healthy Protein Peanut Butter Cups, so between the cups and the eggs, I always have a good freezer stash 💁‍♀️

It’s also a plus that these have added protein from the protein powder but in my opinion, the best part of using protein in this recipe is that you don’t need to add any sweetener to the peanut butter (because the vanilla protein is already sweetened) and it also creates the most delicious decadent fluffy texture. While using protein powder is my favorite way to make this recipe, you don’t have to use it if you don’t have any or if you aren’t a fan! If you are skipping it, just mix a little almond or coconut flour and add some coconut sugar or another sweetener to get a similar texture and flavor.

Why You’ll Love These

SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE – Compared to traditional Reese’s Eggs that are loaded with sugar, fillers, additives, and who knows what, this recipe only uses four simple ingredients. All things that you can pronounce and recognize.
So easy – You just have to mix, let it set in the freezer, and repeat for the final product!
Balanced treat – We have a great balance of protein from the protein powder and healthy fats from the peanut butter, coconut oil, and chocolate. The only sweetener would be what’s in the protein powder so it’s naturally much lower in sugar but if you need a little more sweetness or your protein isn’t sweet enough, you can add a little honey, maple syrup, monkfruit, etc.
Dietary friendly – These are gluten free, vegan, high protein, low carb, low sugar, and can be refined sugar free depending on ingredients used.

What You’ll Need:

Natural peanut butter – The runnier the better and made with simple ingredients. Look for ones with just peanuts or peanuts and salt. You can use another nut or seed butter but it will have a different flavor. Tahini or sunflower butter would be closest taste-wise!
Vanilla protein powder – My favorite is Flavcity (code: CALLA) for either whey or plant-based options.
Chocolate chips – Hu gems or Just Date are great if you’re wanting a refined sugar free option, I also love these vegan chocolate chips from Enjoy Life.
Coconut oil

What Protein Powder Do I Recommend?

My favorite protein powder is by Flavcity! They have so many flavor options and both whey or plant-based protein powders. They’re so good on their own mixed with water or milk for a classic protein shake but I love using it for baking (like this recipe!).

I’ve tried a lot of protein powders over the years that are great but this one has quickly taken top spot – the flavor is delicious and the ingredients are simple. Most blends include adaptogens and are only sweetened with organic stevia and monkfruit for the perfect level of sweetness. Plus each serving has 20+ grams of protein which helps easily increase your intake without thinking much about it. Even easier when it’s used in desserts like this one 😉

How To Make

Prep by lining a plate or tray with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, add peanut butter and microwave for fifteen seconds.
Stir in the protein powder until you get a nice, fluffy texture.
Scoop out about two tablespoons each and set them on the lined tray, leaving space between. Lightly form each ball into eggs with a spoon or your fingers.
Freeze for at least two hours or until fully set. Once they’re frozen, you can smooth out any bumps and form them a little better if you want.
In a small bowl, make the chocolate coating by combining chocolate and coconut oil, microwave for thirty seconds, stir, and repeat until smooth.
Using a fork, carefully dip each egg into the chocolate, making sure to cover completely. Place each back on the line tray and set in the freezer for five minutes. (Tip: I like to use a fork to place the peanut butter egg on. Use that to dip into the chocolate, flip it around to make sure it’s coated, then lift it up and scrape the back of the fork on the edge of the bowl to get any extra chocolate off.)
If you have remaining chocolate, you can use this for a chocolate drizzle on each and top with flakey sea salt.
Once they’re re-frozen, you can cut around the edges if there’s any excess chocolate to make them into perfect egg shapes. Enjoy!
