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
- no-bake
- easy to prepare
- only 3 ingredients
- good source of protein
- high-fiber
- low calories
- no egg mold needed!

- 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
- Applesauce - you can use any kind or any flavored applesauce. I used unsweetened.
- Chocolate Chips - you can use any chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) in this recipe. I like this lower sugar, stevia-sweetened brand. If you want, you can also use unsweetened chocolate.

How to Make
Easy 3-Ingredient PB Fit Easter Eggs
STEP 1
Mix 1 ¼ cup of the PB Fit powder and all of the applesauce together.
STEP 2
For a thicker, fudgier peanut butter filling, add the rest of the peanut butter powder (¼ cup). For a creamier texture, use as is.
STEP 3
Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll into balls, then slightly flatten to get the egg-like shape.
TIP: If too soft, you can always put the filling in the fridge until firm enough to shape.
STEP 4
Let the peanut butter filling cool in the fridge or freezer until firm enough to coat in chocolate.
STEP 5
Coat the eggs in melted chocolate
STEP 6
Drizzle with more chocolate (optional), then wait for the chocolate to set
STEP 7

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
- Greek Yogurt Easter Eggs
- Cottage Cheese Easter Eggs

- If you’re allergic to peanuts you can also use almond butter powder instead. Here is one recipe that uses that ingredient: Homemade Pistachio Easter Eggs Recipe
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

How to Store PB fit 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
- 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.

I love the idea of using applesauce to make Easter eggs. I’m thinking of adding a dash of cinnamon for an apple spice flavor. Can’t wait to try this!Reply
All Purpose Veggies says
I love that idea, too! I haven't tried it yet, but I think cinnamon-applesauce would be just as tasty

Made this for Easter, and our family loved it! I added mini chocolate chips and needed a little more applesauce than 1/3 cups to keep the dough together.Reply
All Purpose Veggies says
Glad to hear it went well. Adding mini chocolate chips sounds amazing!

I loved it, however, I needed more applesauce as well. Too dry to roll without it. My hands were a mess! I think a spritz of oil before shaping will be my next move.Reply

Thank you for the suggestion! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
